I know this is late in the piece, but we're disposing of oldies and I
reckon I could supply a complete machine:
Quiet black Antec case :-) motherboard with 1" fan :-(
Athlon XP64 3500+ (I think that's what the CPU is called)
1GB RAM
160GB SATA disk
Probably a GeForce 5200 graphics
I have installed one of these as my MythTV FE/BE, pretty happy except
for the power consumption and sometimes noisy 1" fan.
Busyness factor is pretty high right now, so I'd ask someone to come
pick it up from Jolimont. Let me know if you want it.</pre>

Right now I think we'll scrummage through anything; I can swing past
later this afternoon, if that's suitable. What's the address?<br>
<br>
Box #2 that I picked up on Monday is a 900 MHz Celeron, with no
ethernet card; I don't have a spare NIC right now so its ground to a
halt. Box #1 that I picked up I have called <i>av3</i> as we
already have <i>av1</i> and <i>av2</i> sitting at Artifactory with
Firewire cards installed.<br>
<br>
Given that we have found instability in having more than one DV
camera plugged into a single host, and we have three AV sources
(twinpact, two cameras) then perhaps with the addition of one of the
last boxes either from Greg (thanks) or the pieces from Brad
(needing case & PSU) then there's a chance we can light up all
three sources and DVswitch & encoding on a fourth machine.<br>
<br>
Outstanding items I think we need by Tuesday:<br>
* one more tripod (I think Nick, you have one). <br>
* two screens, as I have two screens here donated; while it would be
nice to operate headless, since Mumble needs a GUI (grrr).
Preferable LCD (light and small)<br>
* an Ethernet switch (100 mbit fine for next week, but needs to have
at least 5 ports) and cable<br>
* Power Boards - we have at Patrick Coleman's mums house if we can
grab some (I'm already talking to Patrick about this). Probably one
power board per Av unit (screen, keyboard, video camera, and one day
we may have a light or something)<br>
<br>
We also need an uplink. Nick, can you liaise with UCC to get a patch
an and IP for us (assuming we can get the DVswitch box to have its
IP in UCC, and the rest of the Av boxes can be on a separate
network)?<br>
