I just bought a Silverstone Case
(http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-lc04.htm) to convert my ugly beige
home WBEL server into something nicer to place in our entertainment center.
As the server acts as our mailserver, spamfilter, webproxy , IDS etc system
it will not act as an HTPC (Home Theatre PC) system. I plan on building
another for that later.
The questions I have are in regards to hooking the video card to the TV
instead of a monitor (not enough room to add a monitor in the entertainment
center).
1. Is there a specific video card needed or can I use any card with svideo
output on the RH hardware compatability list. Is there a card anyone here
can recommend?
2. Are there any documents online that can help? Google searching gave me
plenty of hits on setting up PVR like systems but I am not looking for that,
I am just wanting to redirect the video output and sound to the TV.
I want to avoid any potential headaches by buying the proper hardware before
implementation.
Thanks,
Greg
