go to the dell site. from the notebooks tab choose Open-Source Notebooks. play their silly game a price one out. i picked a latitude 520N Duo with all defaults, it comes to $699. now go through and find the same machine with windows on it. look at a latitude 520 Duo. the same model, same processor, same memory, bigger HD, DVD-ROM instead of CD-ROM, with windows xp sp2. can you guess the price? $699. please explain that to me.
yes, it's difficult to set up and get everything configured, but MythTV has changed the way I watch tv. no commercials. it's not that i fast forward through, or skip them. they are actually removed. the hardware can be a little spendy, but i built mine out of an old P3 with a new tuner card, total cost $150. If you're the tinkering type, MythTV is loads of fun to figure out. if you're not, then you'd better cancel your subscription to Make magazine before you think some of their projects might be fun.
