If buying new and I wanted a combined FE/BE I would get:

1. HP microserver
2. Fanless nvidia GT610
3. An ssd for the OS
4. A 3TB hard drive for recordings and media
5. HDHR from Hadley
6. This remote http://rtr.ca/sapphire_remote/

If you would like to look at a running system (myth 0.27 with two
hdhrs and a number of frontends) you are always welcome at my place
Robert. Bring beer. If you want to see a microserver, we have one at
the office. It may be too big for under your TV (from what i recall of
the room) but it would be my choice for quietness and disk capacity.
