Splitting up backend and frontend is awesome, especially when you
netboot the frontend off the backend. That way all the heat and noise
is on the other end of the network from the TV and the user. I'd go
7200 so that you can use more tuners in the future.

power draw, but it will make sure that you won't have any issues
later down the line if you add extra tuners, etc.
And everyone has a war story about a different brand of hard drive.
