Video Disk Recorder
PC Hardware
The PC hardware I have chosen to build the Video Disk Recorder consists
of the following components:
The PC Casing
If you're going to run your VDR in the living room, you'll probably
want it to blend in with the other video and audio equipment and,
most of all, be quiet. I found a PC casing that is both
nice looking (see the picture) and very quiet.
Unfortunately that casing is no longer available for purchase, so you'll
need to search for a suitable casing yourself.
The Remote Control Unit
In order to make the VDR look and operate like any other video
equipment I have built a remote control receiver,
combined with a display that can be used to show, for instance, the current channel.
Of course you can use any other remote control (for example a LIRC based
system), or just use the PC keyboard.
