[mythtvnz] Silent Frontend

[Jason Haar]

I currently have a diskless VIA mini-ITX system (running minimyth) 
living under the TV - ethernet back to mythtv-backend. Works really well 
- but does hang once per month or so (however, hard-resetting a diskless 
frontend carries no chance of corruption - which makes it even better).

However, I now have in my possession a 2nd-hand Dell X300 laptop... It 
has always been very usable for running mythtv-frontend on it as an app, 
and it might make a great frontend under the TV too (i.e. quiet, good 
CPU, runs cool).

So I'd guess I'd suggest looking at laptops as an option. Cheap ones are 
just under $1K and therefore pretty competitive with mini-ITX from a 
cost perspective, and yet higher performing...?
