Setup
Core
- Mainboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe (be sure to disable acpi in the BIOS or grub, see this link: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ASUS_M2N-SLI_Deluxe)
- CPU: AMD 5000+
- Memory: 4 GB Corsair DDR2-800
- Case: APEVIA Black X-MASTER - I would spring for a better/larger case next time, this is a tight fit and the PSU is reported to have issues)
- HDD: 3x 1.5TB SATA in software RAID5 (2.7TB in /home). I used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699075
- NIC: Onboard Gigabit & 3Com 3C905b
- Video: XFX Geforce 8500
- PVR-150 - not installed yet
- Fiire Chief Remote (works great)
- USB-UIRT (not used yet)
So far this is working as a basic system, however I am not finished setting things up. The 1st onboard NIC shut off after I got Kubuntu installed and I had to add the 3Com for now, it appears to be an issue with the driver (see here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=89621).
I did a normal Kubuntu 7.10 install following the RAID5 instructions in the link above first, then I installed LMCE with the CD's.
Media Director
- Mainboard: Jetway JNC62K (FYI - comes with a slim fan/cooler)
- Processor: AMD 4850e
- RAM: Crucial 2GB stick
- Video: onboard 8200
I discovered that if I have certain USB devices plugged in while this is doing a diskless boot, it fails. I had to disable one of the onboard NIC's to get it to start to boot off the network. Note: I do not have this MD working yet, I just started on it yesterday.
