Re: Micro ITX



I fancy one of these as a living room media/HA PC. The low power
requirement and ability to be quiet are big plus points, but it's not
the fastest thing in the world. I've heard that they struggle to play
Divx or DVD. Those would be nice features.

I'm quite attacted by all these integrated, quiet, small form factor
PCs. I may get a Shuttle as my next main box.

I'm also considering going to Linux for various reasons including not
having to get multiple MS licences in order to be above board. I need
to have a look at Misterhouse some time. I've got the X10 PC kit to
play with. Can it talk to Comfort?
