Dell e310 upgrade

    I'm starting to get annoyed with the reliability of the USB chip sets in my external disks (of which I have six), so I am considering upgrading to a home theatre style case for my Dell e310 so I can have room to move the disks to inside the case. There are of course warts -- the Dimension e310 appears to have a BTX mother board ( which causes people pain ). Additionally, no one seems to make a BTX home theatre PC case, which sucks.

    So, I might end up having to replace the entire machine, which isn't so cool. I'm gonna put all of this on hold until I can apply more thought to it.

    That is a pain and I'm in the same boat. What I've decided to do is mod the case to accept the BTX Mobo. Dremels are a wonderful thing. I was wondering if you are using MythTV on you E310 and if so any pointers on how well it works

    Yep, it's a MythTV backend and frontend, and works just fine.

    Cheers,
