I was also considering doing something similar but I thought the problem with setting this up on an older machine or one of the silent mini-itx platforms was they do not have the processing power to handle it. Does anyone have experience with setting this up and what might be considered minimum requirements for a hardware platform?

Hello,
You might want to check out The hardware forum of MythTvtalk: http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10 You will be able to find out the needed hardware. If you use a PVR with hardware encoder, the min specs are quite low.
I will keep you posted and you will even have pics ;) In fact, we (a MythTVtalk moderator and I) are going to run the MythTV booth @ LUGRadio this summer in the UK and that's why I want to build this nice frontend.
I ordered the CF-to-IDE yesterday and will be ordering a CF card pretty soon. I just need to find out first the needed space for such DSL/MythTV install.
