[mythtv-users] Acer Aspire Revo R3610 as a backend

I'm using some Revo R3600s as frontends (one setup so far, another in 
its box) and am musing on using a the R3610 dual-core version as a 
backend. I'll be using it with Hauppauge DVB-T USB tuners for UK 
Freeview, so pretty low bandwidth, and I don't need commflagging.

Should a dual core atom be OK for this?
Will I be ok with 6 USB tuners? I'd like to set 3-4 virtual tuners on 
each so we can record a fair number of things at once and the front-
ends can use spare virtual tuners as long as there is a tuner already 
tuned to that mux. Will this work?
Recommendations for other low power (30 watts?) backends gratefully 
received.

Many thanks - I'm very new to mythtv, in case you can't tell!

Ian
