One gotcha that got me: I think my cable co. pushed down a firmware update at
some point that caused my box to power-cycle. Upon coming back up, it had a
different FireWire bus node, and thus Myth couldn't find it anymore. Missed
last week's 24 and CSI:Miami because of it... :-\
Aside from that, its been rock-solid.

Actually, 3GHz is recommended for an HD setup. You can get away with less on a
frontend-only system, but an all-in-one box needs to do more than just
playback, so you'd be pushing it.
