For my core I'm using some existing hardware. It's a Gigabyte Nforce 3 socket 939 board (i'll get the model later) with 1GB ram and a 4200 X2 CPU which i've just bought to give it some more horsepower. Disk-wise it's got a 250G IDE drive and a couple of 80GB sata drives which are currently striped. Still not sure what to do here, i'll probably make a decision once I see what LMCE's raid capabilities are like.

Introduction

Inspired by Itsmeok, i decided to document my build from start to finish. After scanning the forums for ages and looking for issues that I might run into, as well as making a virtualbox test install on my laptop, I feel I'm prepared enough to get going!

Yesterday I bought the hardware for my first hybrid:

Mobo: Asus P5N7A-VM

CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E7400

RAM: 2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX DDR2

GFX: Nvidia 9300 onboard mobo

HDD: 1TB Hitachi Deskstar

Case: Antec NSK2480 v2 (uk)

PSU: 380 Watt incl w/ case

TV: Hauppage PVR-150
