Hi guys,

This is not a fanless solution, but what do you guys think of this? How does this hardware stack up for mythtv?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856140003

It's only $125 with a rebate, just add the cpu, memory, disk. It already has a video card with TV-out...

  Well I'm not sure I'd call the Mini inexpensive (maybe compared to other Mac's), but the form factor is pretty tough to beat.  Is HD even a remote possibility on a Mini, or is it out of the question?  I assume you can't use hardware acceleration like XvMC....  If it can't do HD, is the CPU the problem, or the vid card?  I'm just thinking that if I wait a bit, maybe Apple will come out with a next-gen Mini with more power.

    i remember seeing someone post somewhere, can't remember if it was
    this list or irc or what, that had built the mac mini into their tv
    housing.  he had a website with pictures, i think he had some sort of
    big dlp tv but apparently that worked and i thought it was pretty cool 
    at the time.
