New mini box - Mini-box M-100

This looks like it could be a sweet myth box. Has TV-out and a PCI slot for a
PVR-250 card! It even mentions Linux BEFORE windows in the requirements
section. I guess the only question would be whether the Via C3 is enough for
decoding video.

Its a lot cheaper to buy the hardware components than this box.

It's neat looking, but it uses the slower EPIA boards, which are not
powerful enough for mythtv (or DVD's really). And they are expensive.
