Sal Cangeloso took a small form-factor Mini-ITX case and even though it had just a one-gigahertz processor with 512MB of RAM on its motherboard, was able to turn in into a PVR by upgrading it with a 250GB hard drive, beefing up the power supply to 120 Watts and installing the Ubuntu 5.10 distribution of Linux. The key to the system is the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 350 using MythTV PVR software. Cangeloso was able to plug his digital cable right into it, and it even has a remote.

He set it up with super quiet fans and says the thing runs very well. Downloading scheduling information from the Web, he ends up with a tiny, quiet, cheap PVR that he built himself. Neat.

Well what is the point of buying an entire new computer when all of your media is on a preexisting computer anyway? This is where Hauppauge is stepping in with their MediaMVP 802.11g Wi-Fi enabled set-top decoder box. It currently supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and DivX for video; MP3 for music; and JPEG and GIF for pictures. Fans of XviD or WMA? Do not fret. The MediaMVP is powered on an open-source Linux operating system, so upgrades and hacks galore will be coming. Unfortunately it is limited to connection with Windows PCs only and it has a somewhat high price tag of $260—still cheaper than most retail media centers though.
