Hi All,
I'm new to LinuxMCE and I'm just about to start buying and building a PVR as I think the hardware (in terms of size, noise level and power) is just about there. I'm looking to get a Shuttle SD11G5 as the bare bones and put a 2.5" HDD in (as they're quiter), 2-4Gb dual channel RAM and a TV card (maybe the kworld DVB-T dual tuner). I understand the setup has linux drivers but I'd like to know if anyones got LinuxMCE working on it?
The shuttle spec can be found here:

The MCE will be driving an LG 42LF66 (
