I'm currently building a Myth box, and am using an EPIA SP board. There
doesn't seem to be a problem getting 2 cards on the riser with that
board. Admittedly I can't go to three, but two isn't a problem. By using
the EPIA I get a box with hardware MPEG acceleration, and no moving
parts at all other than the hard drive (which is mounted in a damped
heat-sink assembly).
