This is my project for tail end of 2009.
I intend to include a blu ray drive of some description
An X-fi sound board
A TV tuner card to allow use as a PVR
A decent graphics card such as one from the Nvidia 8000 series
An i7 Core chip
Anyone done anything similar and can give me some advice on whether it'll accommodate all that and what you'd recommend in terms of quiet fans.

Shuttle/media pc style.
MythTV compatible.
Must be silent (or very quiet), preferably low power, and of decent spec.
Does anyone know if MythTV and *nix is happy with Bluray? I should have a look at that.

I'm certainly doing my bit for it. It has about 4% of the market at the moment but it's still early days.

I don't recall hearing any complaints about video tape when VHS was the only thing in town.
