[mythtv-users] Single Box for Myth font/backend

[Steve Joiner]

Here's one that looks interesting:

Leadtek K7NCR18GM
Micro ATX
nForce2 IGP & nForce2 MCP
Onboard GeForce4 MX
Onboard AC97 audio

Newegg lists it, but it's not in stock (yet).  The pictures on newegg
show a single pci header that has spdif (rca not optical), 2nd vga (for
dual-head), and svideo out.  Put that over the agp slot and you've still
got three pci slots left.

Pop two tuners in and you've still got one pci slot left over.  Throw it
all in a Cooler Master 620 and it's starting to look like a nice system.
