I am currently using a 7 year old HP Media Centre PC as a combined backend / frontend running mythbuntu 11.04. This has a Pentium 4 processor that uses 84w.<br><br>I am thinking of replacing this with an Acer Revo RL100 (just based on the difference in the power consumption of the the two processors I will save over £80 per year in electricity, based on 24/7/52 operation). This has windows 7 pre-loaded, so would be looking at installing mythbuntu using wubi.<br><br>Just wondering whether anyone else has experience of this this PC as a combined FE / BE and whether you would recommend it?<br><br>Spec as below:<br><br><table id="TemplatePage_BOX_005_MODULE343_11_GridView1" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td class="Product-Specfication-Header">Processor</td><td class="Product-Specfication-Detail">AMD Athlon II Neo K325 Dual Core (K325, 1.3GHz, 1MB Cache )</td>
