[TriLUG] MythTV Frontend hardware

[Bill Farrow]

While we are talking about MythTV remotes, I am planning to build a
new frontend.  If the mpeg and h264 decode can be offloaded to the
graphics chip, that would be fantastic.

My requirements are 1080p HD video playback over HDMI.  I'm looking
for a small form factor case, with quiet or silent cooling.  Having a
DVD drive bay is optional.

This doesn't need a HDD, I will either PXE boot or use a USB
flashdrive or compact flash card.

Has anyone run a MythTV frontend using an all-in-one montherboard with
the Intel Atom and Nvidia ION graphics chipset ?
