[mythtv-users] nano-itx

[matt lutz]

I don't really need a PCI slot since I'll be using it as a front-end only
box.  And I need component, not DVI, since my receiver currently will switch
between component video sources (makes the whole setup easier for people to
understand).

I didn't know openchrome was still in beta though... not sure if I want to
slap down $600 for something that will "kind of" work.
