I just recieved a 22" LCD TV for my bedroom, and I currently have a MythTV backend on my network.

I"m looking for a SFF pc to put either on the floor under my dresser, preferably AT MOST 4" tall.

This is going to be exclusively a MythTV frontend. I'm looking for suggestions as to what to get.

  • It's got to be pretty damn fast (for HD H.264 content, my P4 2.8Ghz is not fast enough, but my Core2Duo T8100 plays them just fine.
  • I'm an Intel fanboy, but if you can prove to me that AMD will do what I want without generating more heat, I'm game.
  • I would prefer onboard video with an Nvidia chipset series 8XXX or higher (The new versions of mythtv support HDPAU accelleration)
  • A PCI-E upgrade path for video card is preferable, but not necessary.
  • An HDMI display connection is preferable.
  • Digital audio out is not necessary, I'm going to be using my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 set.(awesome, get a pair for yourself)
  • Hard drive capacity is not an issue, I'm going to be network booting from the mythtv backend.
  • Of course the basics (Onboard sound, onboard network, onboard USB) are all required.
Anyone have any suggestions?
