Well as I have started working again (4 weeks & paychecks in, not one for the right amount lol) I have decided to work on a SFF PC which will record tv and be a good playback for my uni place

Specs:

Opteron 144

1GBÂ DDRÂ Ram

200gb IDE Seagate HDD (all 3 of those were free,  swapped for a P5B Deluxe wi-fi/ap)

Asus A8V-Something motherboard

2 TV cards (one analogue, one digital/analogue) (free as I have the stuff already)

XFX 8400gs (useful for a HTPC as it has HDCP and component out etc)

Hand built case (to do, need a donor case and a donor PSU for it)

Case is planned to be based around a PS3/360 elite in appearance, with a card reader and side loading dvd-rw drive

Running OpenSUSE I plan to use Myth and have a nice wireless keyboard/joystick/mouse combo

Work is scheduled to start as soon as I get the rest of the stuff  (well pick up a donor case and some fibreglass stuff to hand make the case (except the mobo tray/mounts/’top’ of the case (going to mod that with some plexi)
