"...they're seriously underpowered for any sort of PVR work..."
- And yet my Mini equipped with a EyeTV receiver performs pretty well as a PVR (even streaming recorded shows to other boxes in the house using CyTV but unfortunately I have not yet been able to make it stream the live TV feed - Damn! I miss a Snapstream like app for OS X).
At the same time The Mini serves as my family mailserver and webserver ... as well as an audio server using airtunes to access the stereo.
My latest mini-ITX experiments did unfortnately not end equally well - But that may have been due to the fact that I tried to use a VIA Eden card as a PVR. (A fanless 800 MHz C3 simply was not up to the job) Hopefully the mini-ITXs have improved more than a lot over the past year - would be nice for the competition.
