I have one of the LV667T boards sitting here. It's NOT silent since
but it can be made damn quiet for a lot less than a typical system.
It does HD and SD playback via XvMC very well. Though you need to
jump through a few hoops to get the unichrome pro libraries and
drivers installed.
I've not gone beyond the proof of concept phase with this board, but
overall I'm pleased. I've got a full Mythfrontend + all plugins in a
system that 1 moving part (the CPU fan).
