With VDPAU, hardware acceleration of HD decoding and other good things,
announced by NVIDIA and code already being tested within MythTV, I would
look at anything inside the list mentionned in this post:

You can get 8400 PCIe fanless cards for about $30.

Someone posted a link to a PCI card on this list.
