[mythtv-users] Lix Systems Barebones -- thoughts on it for a QUIET frontend

[mythtv at shelfspace.com]

Hello all.

My current frontend/backend dell box w/ 500gb of harddrives in it is 
getting WAAYYYY to loud for the living room, so my wife wants me to 
move it to the basement and replace it with a whisper quiet front-end.

I've done a lot of research, and am having a hard time finding 
examples of front-end only boxes that list exactly what components are 
in there so that I could build/price it myself.

In a moment of (weakness)/inspiration, I came across the Lixsystems 
barebones:
http://www.linuxtechtoys.com/ltt/product_info.php/cPath/24_25/products_id/235
$349 for everything but harddrive/cpu/memory.

I've checked the archives and haven't seen any reviews (I think it 
only came out 1 month ago).  So, has anybody seen it?  Is it that 
quiet?  Is it that worth it?

Failing that, if you are currently running a FrontEnd only box that is 
quiet, can you send me your Hardware specs (like which case, which 
motherboard, which cpu, onboard video out, etc) so that I could pretty 
much use it as a shopping list at newegg.  :)

For the responses that come to me directly, I will post a summary 
within a week to let you all know what I've heard.

thanks,
mark
