I've put together a Mini-ITX PC running Gentoo and both backend and frontend on the same box. Longer term I'm planning a dedicated Linux backend and a Mac mini frontend. This will involve some extra household wiring though, so I'm procrastinating...

Hardware:

  • Mini-ITX PC (Morex Venus case)
    • 1 x Hauppage USB DEC2000-t DVB-T tuner
    • 1 x Hauppage Nova-T (Connexant chipset)
    • 512MB RAM
    • DVD writer
    • 120GB disk
  • Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.9
    • MythTV (CVS from last October, 0.17 upgrade imminent!)
    • Xorg 6.8 + Unichrome r29 driver
