i just bought $crazy/2 worth of new parts from newegg today. there's a rational part of me that knows that a machine made with parts that are 5-8 years old on average simply can't handle capturing hdtv signals, but a little part of me weeps for its passing. that machine was my first "real" beast -- 2 x 2.4ghz p4 xeon with a whopping 1.5gb ram. it served me well through round 1 of grad school. here's hoping to an equally admirable performance through round 2.

i will purchase the remaining $crazy/2 worth of components once i get reimbursed for classes. then i will probably need to bite the bullet and figure out if it's even possible to do gigabit throughout the apartment. my next place will so be wired with a bigass switch in the basement.
