If the old one worked okay, then that's your minimum spec for any 
replacement.  Anything above that spec is a win.

TBH its not like the backend's tasks are getting any more complex over time.

An older business-grade SFF desktop is still a good option as long as it 
can take your tuner devices.  Only downside is space inside for more 
hard drives.


Personally my long term plan is to do away with the physical mythtbox 
backend and replace with a VM.  That requires a networked HDHomerun (not 
yet)  and a working UHF aerial (there but not tested.)
