I would be interested. Have been researching how to setup a diskless frontend system for a few weeks. Been looking at the epia boards. I take that on the epia M10000 the s-video connection can be used going to the TV along with the audio outputs? And this utilizes the mpeg 2 decoder? Will this support playing a DVD as well? >From http://www.jdr.com Item Number Product Name Price CASE-MITX-BA Mini-ITX Black Aluminum Case $164.88 DDR512LP-2100 DDR, 512MB, PC2100, Low Profile $179.88 EPIA-M10000 VIA Mini-ITX Motherboard with 1.0GHz C3 CPU $184.88 Just need to add a DVD drive to this and the cables. Have not shopped around yet. Paid about this much for a slave backend/frontend using a micro ATX board that I built minus the PVR cards.
