Building the Godzilla of PVRs

EvolvedHumanoid writes "In a blog post, Percy Bell of SnapStream Media details how he built 'Godzilla', an 11-tuner PVR machine with HDTV support using off-the-shelf components. At $4284.90, the end result sports 1TB storage for recorded content and has to be one of the coolest PVRs ever built."

In that pic they are trying to use the static electricities to loosen up the electrons. With the electrons loosened they can tranfer the datas faster. They said when the electrons are too tight only 10 of the tuners can be used at a time.

I'd guess that it is, in fact, one of the hottest PVRs ever built!

Not to mention over 1TB of recorded shows, and STILL nothing to watch!
