This sounds to good to be true,  tiny , quiet (14dba) and it runs Linux.
Even V4l and LIRC are pre-configured.
Livna, freshrpm and  ATrpms enabled by default, so a mythtv install
should be simple.

Gizmodo article : 

Here's a home theater PC (HTPC) "bare bone" case from LixSystems, a
company that apparently pays attention to the right details for a box
that's going to be in an environment that needs near-total quiet. Its
280-watt power supply has a fan that keeps the noise down to 14dba,
which is right down there in church mouse territory. You supply the
processor, hard drives, tuner card and RAM, and for $299 LixSystems
provides a case that's just 16.2"x11"x3.2", about the size of a DVD
player. It's equipped with a motherboard for AMD dual core processors,
onboard 5.1 audio and NVIDIA FeForce graphics support, a 9-in-1 memory
card reader, and interchangeable front plates to match that stylish home
theater of yours. Choose Windows or Linux, and you have yourself a quiet
and low-priced foundation for a kick-ass home theater PC
