a1eyedbandit · 07-05-2007, 10:36 PM

hey I was wondering.... I am planning on using the advice that was given to me in the thread here : New Comp and rae going to build the intel version... what I need to know is can I put a tv tuner in it and a wireless card... and if so what do you all suggest or recommend. Will it be difficult or taxing

You could put 10 tuners and 20 wireless cards in the computer if you had enough expansion slots

Now if you really wanna do that, There are adaptors you can purchase that act as pci slots, So sure add as many of each as you want.

But make sure you have enough Expansions slots before you buy

Check inside your computer.

Do you know what PCI slots look like?

no actually, I am unsure as to what PCI slots look like. I know that my case will have 7 slots though.... is there a special way to plug the parts in??

For the price of these PCI expansions, you can typically build quite a few new computers... It's better to just upgrade the motherboard if you are running out of PCI slots, or use some other interface such as USB.
