Hi all!

For many years I've had LMS running on an HTPC I built, running Windows
7 x64.

This works fine, except I've been having some troubles with the computer
BSOD'ing a lot (at first due to a faulty stick of memory, but it keeps
doing it, possibly due to that memory being somewhat incompatible with
the motherboard or some driver fault, or perhaps damage done by all the
crashes of the past).  I think my continually putting the computer to
sleep and waking it up exacerbates the issues I've had.

In any case, I've decided it would be easier to use and more dependable
if I had a small-form-factor, low-power device just to be that server. 
Looking around, the Zotac mini-pc's look pretty great for what I want. 
I was thinking of getting one of the i3 or i5 based ones.

Has anyone tried these machines with LMS?  I'd be running Linux on it, I
think.

What success have folks had with small form factor computers like this? 
Do you recommend any particular brands that work well?
