J-Y, to disable building yadif, is it as simple as adding 
'--disable-filter=yadif' to myth's configure?  Or is anything else 
required?

As far as frontend v. backend, a CoreDuo or CoreSolo Mac would really 
only suffice as a standard def frontend.  I suppose it could be a 
backend-only machine for HD as long as it wasn't doing any 
commflagging or transcoding...the advantage in this case is that it 
has pretty good power-management built-in.  The OP hasn't said what 
he was hoping to use it for.
