I looked at the Wal-Mart machine for my MythTV frontend.  While the mobo 
is powerful enough to handle the playback, the Wal-Mart version doesn't 
have video out.

 From what I had seen, the PC has two slots (micro-ATX).  I was going to 
use one for the TV capture card, and the other for an older PCI Nvidia 
card I have.

Oh well.  I'll just upgrade the case I have and use the machine I have 
been using for a while.
