I'm using one of these with MiniMyth (network booting). Problem: can get rather
warm during use, probably depends on the kind of box you put it in.
Also, I get picture tearing during scenes with large amounts of movement. I
suspect that I have not yet got my playback profiles adjusted correctly.
Otherwise, it's quite good, worked out the box.
