linux.yes.nu/DigiMyth - Setting up a DigiMatrix HTPC with Linux

 
 
 
   
The Order
The order was placed on 2004-09-26.
The order was modified on 2004-09-28. ;/

The order originally consisted of:
  • The DigiMatrix with DVD-R
  • 512MB Kingston PC2700/DDR333 RAM
  • 300GB Maxtor UDMA133 Hard drive
However, 300GB was too much to ask for.. so I had to settle for 250GB.

To go with all this, I set my friend to find me a Pentium 4 2.4Ghz/533MHz Northwood processor.

2004-10-01: Processor in my hands. Awaiting the other parts which are due next week.
2004-10-08: Rest of the parts in my hands.

Assembled it all and tried powering it on... no VGA.
After some searching on the DigiMatrix forums I realized that I had gotten the wrong processor.
After a weekend of despair I was informed that probably both processor and motherboard would be OK.
Awaiting a new processor.

Processor finally arrived from China(!). Nothing in the Digimatrix was destroyed, returned the other processor to my friend so I don't know whether it works.

I haven't updated this project in a while, mainly because I've setup my Digimatrix. ;)
