I'll be doing this. I'd really like to see (but don't expect) a LIRC driver
for the iSight that enables me to use any remote (ie, one with more buttons)
with Myth on the Mac. Otherwise the iMac has built in Bluetooth, so I plan
on using my mobile phone as the remote.

It's not that pricey on education discount :) and is the most competitive
Mac I found (I wrote a spreadsheet to compare my needs).

PS. I plan to fiddle with FrontRow when I get it -- I'll keep you posted.
