New WinTel MiniPC
This looks interesting:
http://minipc.aopen.com/us/ I've seen a couple posts about folks hacking the Apple Mimis to run XP and seeing if they can get Sage to run on them - this seems like a better bet. I'm not familiar with the video chipset on here but it looks as though they've spent some time testing with HD streaming given their support for Component and DVI output. Some of the sites that sell it have versions of it for under $600 - not too bad for a decent fanless client PC...

I know people over at mp3car.com love them for Carputers, I was thinking of looking into one myself for a client, but need to see how good the video performance is. You can get just the barebones system for fairly cheap, and can probably find the rest of the components for fairly cheap from ebay.
