Do people think this setup will work. CM Stacker 810 Q6600 OC to around 3.6Ghz (im still slowly doing the Overclock) 2Gb DDR 2 RAM 1x160Gb System HDD 3x750Gb HDD for storage 2x AverTV Dual DBV-T PCI-E x 1 cards Im planning to add to it later a few more 750+Gb Drives and a pair of SATA2 cards to take them. Would that happily record 3 channels and play back another do you think or will i need more RAM and HDD's to spread the load?

Recording is a dump of the mpeg2 stream from the card to the disk and so seems to be limited mostly disk resources. You could set up storage groups - set three groups, one on each disk, set each card to default to a different group and you'll be fine. Another option would be to set up raid5 using the 3 disks (as I have done) which spreads the load evenly for you and also gives you some redundancy against a disk failure. Cheers, Owen.
