I am planning on purchasing a new PC this fall. The two things that I want it to do is to be my portable gaming system and to capture video / burn DVD's. My plan is to purchase a Shuttle Mini PC. I will get probably a 120G drive in it, and a Sony DRU510A DVD burner. My main question is for the video card. If I get a 9700 Pro AIW, will it let me record TV shows then burn them to DVD? Would it be better to get a second card to capture the video and have a dedicated VGA card?
I would be going with the Shuttle PC with the nForce2 chipset (SN45G) and an AMD, probably 2500 Barton or so, depending on prices in November. Are there any problems running an ATI card in the nForce chipset? Also, this has a 200W PS. I was going to skip the FDD but add an extra fan in its place. While we would all LIKE 550W, will 200W be enough?
What is everyone's thoughts?? Thanks!
