Hi all,

The UK is slowly moving over to HD, and I'm starting to plan the 
hardware upgrades needed to get my freevo system working with 1080p data.

Currently I have a via SP13000 which has hardware accelerated MPEG2 
playback, but doesn't do MPEG4 (I think the hardware might be capable 
but the drivers are not there yet). But either way 1080p playback 
doesn't work (just tired with the transformers 1080p quicktime trailer 
download).

The limitation is that I have a ultra slim line case, which will only 
fix a microATX motherboard with a low profile CPU cooler... which is 
kinda limited :)
But the case is gorgeous and I don't want to change it (case pictures 
here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/02/22/hiper_media_chassis/1 ) 
and was one of the requirements for being allowed a PC in the lounge ;)

Does anyone have any recommendations of microATX motherboards / CPU 
combinations with a built in graphics card that has good Linux support 
and will cope with HD content playback, preferably with enough headroom 
to record at least 1 HD stream to disk at the same time (e.g. hardware 
accelerated playback if at all possible)

Cheers.
