I've been eyeing one of these for non-myth purposes but this thread got 
me thinking.  Has anyone tried a fit-PC2 or fit-PC2i for Myth front 
end?  Most of their pictures look rendered but I've checked 6-months ago 
or so & you could actually order them.
Here's a link: http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc2/fit-pc2-specifications/
Atom Z550 @ 2GHz - Intel GMA500 graphics - DVI 1920x1200.  Not sure if 
this is enough cpu/graphics or not.  Also the US reseller has better 
pics: http://www.thefitpc.com/
