I actually thought about getting one (still am actually).  I need a new 
box for a MythTV BE/FE and that would almost fill in nicely.  Except 
they removed the TV out from the mobo.

It does have 2 PCI slots so I guess 1 for Nvidia card and the other for 
tuner.

At least I know the setup would run Linux :)
