[mythtv-users] Anyone using a Damn Small Machine?

No TV out, and processor *might* not be up to the job.  Don't forget VIA 
chips aren't as good as their Intel/AMD equivalents when comparing MHz 
figuers.  I do know, I have 3 Mini-ITX boards, one used for MythTV.  For 
example, my server has a 533MHz C3 fanless processor but I'd say the 
performance is equivalent to a 350MHz P2 processor.

That said, I'd get a Mac Mini - actually in fact, I already have one as 
my front end and it's wonderful ;)

Cheers - Piers
