I'm actually going to use a Mac Mini for my frontend. I really like the size of it and how it looks compared to pretty much all the other Mini-ITX systems out there and it's very quiet.
I haven't set it up yet with Myth, but should be pretty easy to do. The only reason I haven't done it yet is I'm still trying to decide on a good remote to use. The only ones I've found that at least at an initial glance could work are these: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000513KE/103-3434214-2767064?v=glance - This just doesn't have enough buttons. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/productlistharmony/US/EN,CRID=2080 - I really like the 880, but not sure it could control the Mac Mini. http://www.ati.com/products/remotewonder/index.html - This would work, but is RF only and thus can't control the tv or any other device. http://www.irtrans.de/english/produkte.htm - This is just a IR transmitter/receiver, but not sure how it would totally work yet. I'd really like something like the Harmony 880 or a Pronto.
