    small and cheap dorm gaming PC

    One of my current systems is a X2 4600+ 939, 2gig ram, two hard drives (one SCSI, one SATA), and a dvd drive with the mentioned Thermaltake TR2 430 PSU. I even had a 8800GTS 640m card in it at one point and it still ran fine, so it should be enough for the system you have in mind teamed with any...

    The PVR-500 does not have any special digital tuners, just two plain cable ready ones. If you are attempting to view digital cable channels not viewable thought the straight coax connection, then you will still need to hook up your cable box to view them through the s-video/composite connection...
