Everybody is probably sick of me saying this, but many mini-itx systems come
with a 55 Watt power supply.  This is _not_ enough to run a 3.5" harddrive,
the PVR-250, and built-in ethernet at the same time.  I'll be trying out a
notebook harddrive today (2.5") to see how the power situation is there.
