I was looking into building a PVR awhile back, and this looked like the best option.

Especially an Alpha Powered Linux box!
alpha box, but they were too expensive. Until this afternoon I was running Slackware 8 on a XP 1800+ with a 30gig UW SCSI drive... then I decided to switch to Slack 9. The damn iso keeps skipping some of the important packages... Still love Linux though. |
They still make the Alpha boxes. I bought mine from eBay. It's an EV56 with .5 gigs of ram and 2-10K 9 gig SCSI drives, nice rackmount case (made by Aspen Systems). All for $350! I called Aspen to get a quote on some refurbed models so I could build a cluster but they wanted waaayyyy too much $$$, $3600! You can get good **** on eBay once in a while.
