"System approximately 205mm x 156mm x 61mm"
not quite 'the worlds smallest'.  But yes, it should work for a front 
end, but why would you pay that much for a system that cant hold a 
tuner?  ie, no PCI slot.  Might as well just buy a EPIA, its smaller and 
a lot cheaper and will work just fine for front end.  In fact, the EPIA 
M10000 can hold 2 PCI cards (with a riser) making it perfect for a 
back/front end box.  Dont get me wrong, its a nice P4 system, but its a 
waste if it doesnt have a PCI slot.  You dont need a lot of power to run 
a front end only.
