[mythtv-users] Small Form Factor

[Benjamin Peikes]

Griz, do the Dell SX line fall into the bulging capacitor era?

As for not being able to get a cheap small form factor computer, I don't
believe that it's because Apple is making money off selling DVDs or movies.
Explain the Mac Mini then? I can get a used one for less than $500.

Perhaps someone could make a "deal" with the folks that make the Shuttle,
using their overstock when they switch models. I mean please, how is it
possible that I can't buy a Shuttle that was made 3 years ago for less than
$500 with all of the hardware....

Oh well, I had hoped that after 3 years, the MythTV situation would have
gotten better. I mean what's the benefit between MythTV and getting a
Windoze machine with Media Edition? It's cheaper to get the Windoze machine.

How about the Dell 530s? What video card would you use with one of those?
Seems like you can get one of those decked out for under $500, new with 2GB
RAM and a 250GB hard drive. Don't know how quiet it is though.
