I'm just using a P3-866 with a gig of ram and running XP pro. For the tuner I have an All-in-wonder and use their software and remote. I went with XP instead of media center edition so that I could still run games and other apps on the machine without dual-booting.

Stick with XP. Use Media Portal or SageTV to handle the PVR functions.
Get the largest hard drive you can afford. A 320GB SATA Western Digital goes for ~$150. |

ATI's program comes with the ability to do PVR work. Although I've never really messed with it.

Is use the Media Center Edition on my Dell Precision Workstation with a WinTV card. It still runs everything else like a normal PC. I use Office, Visual Studio, games etc, etc... |

I have an HTPC. I second the notion above for SageTV, it's great. For tuners, I have 2 x Hauppage PVR150-MCE. I use regular WinXP. I have a streamzap remote that uses an USB IR adapter.
Great setup and it's user friendly enough that my gf uses it regularly. |

I've built 2 of them thus far. I've used Meedio personally and absoultely loved it because it was fully expandable to allow different modules to be added. I had it before it had a price tag. It was fun testing it out for free and then they finally released it. I would still say that its worth the money.
