I'm building a new MythTv BE/FE (my first) and would like some input
regarding the graphics card. I will be recording ATSC OTA channels from
two HD3000 cards, so I'll need to support HD playback. I've seen the
FX5200 based cards recommended often, but I can only find them with an
AGP interface. From what I'm told, if I'm going to build a new system,
PCI-E is the way to go for the graphics card.
I would worry more about getting a fanless graphics card than whether
it's PCIe or AGP
I've already put soundproofing in my case to cut hard drive noise. The
noisiest things now are the fans. Last thing I'd want is to add another fan.

Actually, the only reason I care about PCIe is because I plan on getting
a higher end CPU and motherboard. Unfortunately, higher end
motherboards with >3 PCI slots and a 10/100/1000 network interface
typically don't come with an AGP slot. This box will not only be a
BE/FE system, but it will also serve other FE boxes as well as being an
LTSP server.
