Installing the Server

OK, so I got home yesterday and was ready to set up the SageTV Media Center software. Fortunately, I have a surplus PC from my office that will make for a great media server, while keeping my costs under control.

I was planning to hook it up to my existing PC's keyboard, mouse, and monitor using a Trendnet Switch (TK-209k). These can be had for about $25 and are a much smaller and more cost effective solution than having a second keyboard, mouse, and monitor on one's desk.

Unfortunately, I was missing a small part to convert my monitor output from DVI to VGA. I have since obtained one, and I hope to install the server in the next day or two.
