Re: I am going that direction

I put together a Linux machine using a AMD x4850e (45W) and run Mediatomb on it. The PS3 picks that up and I can stream all of my DVD's that I ripped.
If you are serious about building a HTPC, you might want to look at MythTV, I played with it a while back and really liked it, but didn't want to put the effort into getting it work with DirecTV. I may try it again now that I have moved to FIOS.
I've seen a few setups that are simply outstanding with it. People recording OTA HD or anaglog cable.

I've already decided on Windows Media Center. I get an academic license for Vista Ultimate so it's no cost to me. i really like MCE's interface and there is very good custom software that will re-encode recorded video to remove commercials from it.

I did go for the x4850e CPu though. low power and plenty of horse power. The AMD 780g chipset also includes a built in HD3200 with DVI out. very cool and saves money on a video card.

That is a good chipset. I have the built in HD3200 on my desktop at home. I used it briefly, but ended up with an HD3870 for gaming.
Regretfully I don't have any discounts for Windows which is what sent me OpenSuSE. But Mediatomb has treated me really well.
