I'm a software person, not a hardware person; I can handle installing
drives, RAM, and cards, but beyond that I prefer to buy prebuilt.

For my next frontend, I'd appreciate suggestions on any preassembled,
inexpensive (let's say under $500) and/or compact Atom- or other
low-power CPU-based boxes that are VDPAU-ready. Most Shuttle PCs are
too expensive except the KPCs, which use Intel video. A netbook might
be ideal, except I don't know of any with DVI output, let alone
onboard Nvidia 8-series video.
