[mythtv-users] Combined Backend/Multiple frontend

I am currently renovating a house and I am looking at potential solutions for 
distributing tv/music/photos etc to any tv, and stumbled across MythTV.
Being a long time linux fan, I wondered if it were possible to create a large 
backend box with several cpus, that could handle the PVR stuff and driver all 
tvs in the house.

Setup would be
- Dual Athlon 64
- 1-2GB RAM
- Two PVR 250/350 cards
- Three or more AGP/PCI graphics cards with TV out
- Multiple IR sender/receiver one for each TV.

Each graphics card would be assigned a different X display and a separate 
instance of MythTV frontend running.

Would this setup be possible?
Has anybody tried it out?

Thanks
