So I need to build a new one.
What recommendations do people have?

At least one SATA drive (I have two 500GB drives)

Cheep. Of course...

<p>If the old one worked okay, then that's your minimum spec for any
replacement. Anything above that spec is a win.</p>
<p>TBH its not like the backend's tasks are getting any more complex
over time.</p>
<p>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. <br>

<p>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.)</p>
