Hi,

I'm shopping for a barebone pc, especially for Mythtv. I'd like one with a tuner and cdplayer that can operate while the OS is not running. Furthermore, only a nice colorful display makes my wife happy with such a thing. :)

My eye has fallen on the S-Presso by Asus or the MSI Mega 180 (dlx). Some questions arise: Does anyone have any experience with these? Are all hardware components compatible with Linux? (Preferably Mandrake)

Both manufacturers state that their products are compatible with Windows only, but I think this is because of the "media center" software that comes with the hardware.

I would be grateful if anyone that has got any experience with these barebones or with something similar would share their experiences.

Thanks in advance!
