One thing I'm concerned about is whether the motherboard will fit in the<br>
case. I tried looking at the pictures, but I'm having a tough time<br>
determining if all the back panel jacks and stuff will line up with<br>
opening. I intend to move my 2 PVR 150's into it as well.<br></blockquote><div><br>Motherboards come with a metal panel to fit into the back of the case so that the ports aren't an issue. If you have 2 slots on the mobo and the case, then your cards should be fine. <br>

I'm planning to use my existing IDE disks but it looks like it will only<br>
support two of them. (I have 3)<br></blockquote><div><br>Might be a problem. If it has only 1 IDE port (most do) then you have to share the IDE port to attach 2 drives. This will cause performance problems. If it will cause problems for your uses is hard to say. I only mention it so you can be aware of it. I'd switch to SATA disks if you can, for at least the recordings. <br>

Do you think I should not use the onboard VATI ideo card and get an Nvidia?<br></blockquote><div><br><br>VDPAU is really nice. I would do that, personally. I use NVidia in all my frontend boxes. <br><br></div></div>
