You may want to consider a mac mini as well - I know there's people on
the list sucessfully using them as nice small, decent looking  and
quiet frontend machines.

You'll need to add the video out to attach it to a TV, but other than
that, I'm sure it'll be fine. I would do some investigating to see if
the onboard audio is supported in linux, as well, just to be sure.

[mythtv-users] Possible SD frotnend-only machine?

2005-04-28 Thread Phil Bridges
I'm looking for a small box to put in my kitchen to listen to tunes
and watch recorded and live TV (standard-definition, only) on.  I've
noticed a bunch of Dell Optiplex GX150s (http://tinyurl.com/ar89q) on
eBay for relatively cheap.  They're pretty small, and would fit in the
area I need.

Does anybody have any experience with these?  Do you think they'd work
fine for a frontend?
