Hi all,
after setting up GBPVR on my home PC (3.2 GHz Intel, Hauppauge 150 MCE), I'm thinking about building a 'pvr-server' from an old computer but am uncertain about the minimum hardware requirements for it. I have an old Pentium III machine available and would add the Hauppauge MCE-150 card and a larger harddrive to it. The MB might be upgradeable to a PIII 800 or maybe 1 GHZ processor.
The system should just be controlled via the network and store the recorded files so I can access them from either my home office PC or media adapter attached to my TV, so the only job for this machine would be to record and serve the video files.
Does anyone have experience with such a low level system and gbpvr?
Tom
