i'm currently using an x-box which seems grossly underpowered. does
anyone have any suggestions for a good cheap front-end-only box?
Something that's good looking. I've got an hdtv w/ vga&dvi inputs.
thanks,

As John mentioned I like my Pundit-Rs. I have 4 of them. Very nice.
Reasonable quiet, but not silent. The only problem I'm having with
MythTV right now is that I cannot keep the StreamZap remotes I bought
working with Myth. The work for a day and then stop. I think this is
more an lirc problem but it's an issue you might want to think about
before you buy.
Funny you should mention that. You helped me get mine working last
night but when I went up this morning to use it, it was frozen. i did
a cold reboot and it was fine. later in the day it was frozen again.
I did a WARM boot and it was also fine. I've been booting a lot today
figuring out the X Server/PVR-350 tv-out issue (no luck yet)
Anyway, I own 4 and I'd buy 4 more today if I needed to, but ONLY for
frontend ONLY. The PVR-xxx cards do not fit in them easily so they are
of no value to me as backend machines.
SATA performance is low right now.
do they really need much of a disk since they are a front end? Have
you got a pointer handy to them so I can look at specs? i might need
a couple of front end machines for this box also
