Just as another thought for small LINUX boxes, I recently acquired a DIGI-POS point of sale processor. It is a 1.7GHz Celeron, with 256MB of RAM (uses laptop type memory cards, so you could out 512MB in), on-board sound and video, 2 PCI and 1 ISA expansion slot, and runs of a 24V supply. If I can persuade it to work, I'll try it as a Myth front-end box. It is so small, it will easily go inside a Pye D18......

Cooling wise, it has two very small, quiet fans, so it has almost zero noise.

The big question is, what is the video chipset capable of?

Jim.
