Hardware

Motherboard:

Asus A7N8X-VM/400
A great little motherboard, but I think it's being phased out. I'll have to look into a replacement soon.
Load it up with 512MBs RAM.

CPU:

AMD Sempron 2200+
We need a fast CPU, but not the state of the art. The Semprons do well in this role, and are priced right.

Tuner:

Hauppauge PVR-350
So far, I've tested the PVR-350 available below. I have a 250 working on a test system and will be testing it within the context of the LokiProject shortly. Don't get the MCE package. It doesn't include the remote interface.

Drives:

Seagate 400
The bigger the better. I'm partial to Seagate 400s.
Any DVD drive will do, preferably a recordable one.

Remote Control:

OneForAll 6131
This is a great little remote and not only does it support all the LokiProject features, it also controls my TV, Set Top Box, and Kenwood Receiver.

Case:

CoolerMaster ATC-620C-BX1
Any Micro ATX will do. I really like the above, pictured below:
