Hi Alan,

thanks, but I'm a bit demanding. I want the box for watching dvds and
recording tv streams. I figure I'm going to need 2 x 600MHz to be safe with
this, maybe up to 1GHz if I want to encode with one and capture with the
other. I'd also like to keep it pretty quiet as I'd like it to be in a living
space and on 24 x 7. All this makes it a pain in the ass, but hey, no harm
asking ;-)

Ben
