I have no experience whatsoever of the MiniITX form factor, however
the only issue I would imagine you get with multiple nova-ts would be
with regards to heating/air-flow issues. Your CPU load will be on
playback. the nova-ts cost little to no cpu on recording, so your cpu
load should stay around about the same , I think ;) [I'm certain
someone will correct me if I'm wrong!]
