Sure but the Revo is an Atom, right? The original Intel Mini is a core duo
and is powerful enough to be a combined backend and frontend, although the
5400RPM drive is on the slow side. I've read posts from people running Atoms
as backends but considering that commflagging 1080i on my dual-core 2.66
Pentium nails the CPU I'm thinking the overall experience would be a bit
lacking.
