New powerful prebuild MythTV machine announced

tvease.net have announced that they will be delivering a new powerful prebuild MythTV machine on June 15th.

The machine is called “Zodiac” and it is capable of 1080p output. It has two tuners and comes in a really nice HTPC case.

Probably the best part of this prebuild MythTV machine is in the software. Besides the “stock” MythTV installation, these guys have added some very useful features. The machine has four partitions. One of them is a “restore” partition which you can boot from and easily restore the machine to the factory settings. And all without loosing the media files which are on a seperate partition.

There is also an easy backup build-in, where you plug in a USB drive and press a backup menu button. This will back up all your media files as well as your MySQL database to the USB drive.

Oh - the price - $1399.

The hardware specs are like this:

2.8 Ghz Dual Core Intel Processor
1 Gig DDR2 533 Ram
1 TB of storage (2 500 GB hard drives in raid0)
2 Hauppauge low profile 150 tuners

19 in 1 card reader
