  We're veering off-topic but I have to ask: Did you run H.264 on your 
mini? I have a 1.83GHZ Core Duo iMac that won't run H.264 (unless I 
run the crystalHD) under Linux, and I really haven't played with it 
as an FE under OS X. If it'll run H.264 under OS X I may give it a 
closer look.

Under OS X, it was playing back 720p h.264 encoded off of an HDPVR 
with no problems.  It did have performance issues playing back 1080i 
streams.

I replaced it because I use the machine for other things besides Myth 
and wanted more horsepower.  Also, the old Minis are a real chore to 
upgrade and I was feeling constrained by its 1GB of memory and 80GB 
HD.
