The Dell Hybrid Studio is an inexpensive miniature form factor computer. It is similar in size to a Mac Mini and has no expansion card slots (although it does have USB and FireWire).

NOTE: The driver support (as of mythbuntu 12.04 - 06/2012) for the Intel video chipset is pretty immature. I was unable to get acceptable video from either the HDMI or DVI when running on two different HD TVs. However, it worked fine on a monitor. Your mileage may vary.
