What if I buy another Epia-M system, network them via the firewire port and setup mosix so the second board lends its cpu to first.  If this would work, I could have one system up and running until the mpeg decoding materializes and it would keep my wife happy -- if I were to put a full size PC case in the living room she'd kill me; the second Epia would be hidden behind the tv.

Sounds interesting!  It should work, the question is how well will it.  
Please let use know how it turns out.
