It may not have all the room you'd want for a frontend/backend system though a lot of people seem to have been happy with it in that configuration. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only one IDE channel, no SATA, so you can only fit one optical and one hard drive in the system and installing a PVR-150/250/500 may require some time with a dremel to get it to fit. There seems to be a lot of variability on people's happiness with the noise and quality of the video out from reading the list. Am I wrong in my perception?
