Hi all,
Haven't seen very many requests for hardware here in the forum, so if it isn't wished, please delete and give me a slap ;-).
Anyway, after experimenting with a Pundit-r and GB-PVR for a while, I decided that the case was too small and things were getting a little too warm (my PVR250 seems to generate a lot of heat). So I took my old desktop PC and decided to revamp it into a media pc and use the Pundit-r as my office PC.
At the minute, I have an AMD 1333 whatever in there and I'm wondering if a 2100+ (has to be a Palomino to fit in my A7V133) would be worth the bother.
Does anyone have such a beast that they would like to part with, and is it worth the bother?
Before anyone else says it, yes, it is an old system, but it works as it is quite well and I'm trying to at least keep things within shouting distance of my budget.
Thanks
