[mythtv-users] Diskless EPIA w/PVR-350 (was: Problems withtheVIAKM400 chipset)

[Neil Davidson]

Also have a look at http://www.linitx.com they are a little cheaper than
www.mini-itx.com from what I can see.

If I go with an EPIA based front end I'll probably either use a compact
flash card hooked directly to the IDE chain, or network boot from the myth
backend. That way the front end is completely silent.

> i love the look of the hush boxes - but they are too expensive

I bit the credit card and got one, it is an excellent machine, you can
still hear the disk though.

> i really want to make my own - but what do i know about metal fabrication?

Have a look on www.mini-itx.com, there was a guy there who built his own
Fanless EPIA 10KN using an old amplifier case and the heatsink with
that.
