My current MythTV machine is an older dual 1GHz Pentium III server motherboard with 2 50GB SCSI drives. It's not the greatest, but is powerful enough to handle doing two recordings at the same time from the PVR-500. The only limitation that I want to change at the moment is the size of the hard drives, but its not that big of a deal at the moment. I have also moved away from using Xubuntu as the base and am using Mythbuntu. Functionally its pretty much the same, but Mythbuntu makes it a bit easier to install and configure. I have not used Mythdora, but I assume its the same idea as Mythbuntu. That particular computer is no longer my myth box due to needing the power for something else.

It was built into a Technics CD player as cases did not exist at the time. My current box is a recycled Compaq EVO D510 2.4Gh P4 and 1g ram, 500 hd, for capture cards using a PVR-350 and a PVR-500. I upgraded to the Compaq due to M10000 getting zapped and wanting to put in a second tuner. For both units I used Mythdora as the OS and build is currently 5.0 Built my first Myth box using a Epia M10000 board and a PVR-350.
