This is my first PC build ever, and I've decided to make it more of a challenge. I've got an old LPX style computer (Low profile desktop) with a wimpy Pentium w/ MMX running at 200Mhz. I'm going to scrap the old LPX MoBo, sell off the processor, and basically just keep the case.
My idea is to make a basic DVR/Multi-Format DVD Recorder (with a TV tuner of course). The question is, what would be my best choice for a mainboard? I want high speed data transfer to DVD and Hard Drive, so I intend on using SATA or SATAII. I'm also on a small budget of around $400. Any thoughts?
