I don't have a river of money, but I have even less time to spend building
hardware, and even less ongoing WAF, so I bought a Mac Mini:
http://store.apple.com/nz/configure/MC238X/A?mco=MTM4MjU3OTg

Ubuntu 9.10 and Myth Frontend installed fine.

It doesn't have onboard HDMI so there's no HDMI audio. It does have optical
SPDIF via the 3.5mm jack. I use a Mini-DVI -> DVI -> HDMI adaptor for
video.

It is the quietest desktop I have ever owned, and it has a much better CPU
than an Ion. Also has a DVD drive, Bluetooth, 11n WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet,
blah, blah....

Oh yeah, and it actually looks pretty good sitting below my TV. ([cough] Not
a shoebox ;) [/cough])...
