I'm thinking that I might make a mythbox. But dear flist where is the best place to buy cheap components online in the UK?

Ebay, Dabs, Aria.
Conflux has made a Mythbox that now works mostly (need new remote keyboard though, as first one got killed by rampaging toddlers)

another vote for Aria, and also Expansys. I've used both of them both professionally and personally without any problems.

Not to piss on your fireworks but: I'm the only person I know who's managed to build a mythbox that functions (reasonably) as an appliance, and I've put a lot of effort in. Getting capture cards to work properly can be frustrating; getting remote control to work is a pig.

Just be prepared for a lot of swearing...

Yes, this

Do you still want that old PC of mine? Will bring to Bicon if our paths don't cross before.....

Please. :)

A. You want a Boxee box - trust me on this.

B. By the time you *really* build a Mythbox or a Boxee box, Boxee will have released their purpose-build STB in the UK.
