I’m putting together a Media Center PC using Debian Linux and MythTV. Since I absolutely dread hardware I’m looking into barebones PCs to simplify things.
Originally, I purchased a nMediaPC HTPC 100 with an AMD 754 socket from NewEgg.com as well as a Sempron 2Ghz, DDR RAM and SATA harddrive. The nMediaPC was DOA, so I promptly shipped it back to NewEgg and they informed me this model was discontinued and I wouldn’t be getting a replacement (I got my money back, though, go NewEgg!). I’m now stuck with, however, my AMD 754 and a very limited selection of BareBones PCs for it to go into.
So, can anyone recommend either a good/reputable website to looking into buying a barebones system or recommend a system itself?
Here’s what I would need on the Mobo:
AMD 754 Socket
DDR 333/400
At least 2 PCI and 1 AGP or onboard S-Video out
Serial ATA hookups
I’d prefer the case to be a mid or mini tower or home theatre style but at this point I don’t care. Am I asking too much?
Thanks,
LarsenMTL
