So I was looking at MSI slim form factor systems to build my own PVR, and I come across this beauty

http://www.msicomputer.com/product/netpc/netpc_detail.asp?model=Metis_266

Unfortunately no TV-out and the AGP/PCI slots are low profile. But still, it's an alternative to shuttle's line.

edit: $138 at pcstop.com, but not in stock
