[mythtv-users] Low Power System

Hello all,

I have been a MythTV user for over 10 years but haven't kept up with the 
changing hardware.  My last iteration was a Zotac Atom 230 combined 
front/backend which unfortunately died recently.

We are moving off-grid (solar only) soon so I am looking for a low-power 
system to watch TV/videos and listen to mythmusic.  That's basically all 
we use the Mythbox for.  Tuner is a networked HDHomerun and there is 
~2TB of data (recordings, videos, music).

Should I be looking at the latest generation of Zotac motherboards or am 
I better off looking at a laptop?  I could probably squeeze everything 
into a laptop if it had dual HDD slots.

All suggestions welcome.

Regards,
