[mythtv-users] Hardware Platforms

I just helped a coworker build a Myth box using a Pundit. He is using
a PVR-500 card. A Dremel was involved to the card to fit in the case.
Once the case was buttoned up, it makes for a real nice unit. It's
small, very quiet and reasonably attractive. I'd give it a very high
WAF.
