Okay.. it appears my p4 2.3gh, 1gb of ram, 6600 Nvidia AGP card, and no hard drive beigebox is not going to be my preferred mode of Mythtv'ing. I am going to have to rip out the power supply, slap that into this OTHER box (which I think that was the problem) another day. I am tired and my exuberance wanes.

The AGP card was producing artifacts, and the live cd would stall out and not go farther. The colors were also jacked up. Cest la vie. Maybe best buy will take the old salty bastard. I mean shit, those parts were a solid fifteen years old.

On a side note I randomly snagged another three bags of crap today. Huzzah! That will make my fourth bag of crap since 2006. Two in 2006, one in 2010, and now one in 2011. I should order more stuff to even out the distribution. Outside of my four craps I have purchase three other items.
