color=#0000ff size=2>The problem I have found with Mini-PC's (shuttle in
particular) is that they do not provide the two pin jumper for attaching
the digital out from an internal DVD player. This never
made sense to me since they provide optical SPDIF-OUT jacks. These mobo
usually only come with the 4 pin CD audio input. I could never find an
easy way to figure out this information without calling the company or looking
through the mobo documentation. Of course, if you are are not worried
about digital audio out, then this wouldn't be a problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Actually, that isn't as nice for Myth as the new Mega PC, the Mega 180,
which is an Nforce 2 MB and Athlon CPU that is well supported by Linux and many
people run Myth on. It even has a PCI slot free for a PVR-250, though I
personally would think this would make a nice frontend. It has wifi built
in as well as a FM tuner, none of which I think is supported under Linux, but
you can at least use the CD and FM tuner in a standalone mode without an
OS.</DIV>

<DIV>There is a review today over at Tom's Hardware that seems pretty
good. </DIV>
