    That would make for an excellent house server

    Add a couple of drives in RAID1 config and a boot flash and here is my dream house server upgrade. Pity it is least likely to be available for that particular purpose (at this rate it will probably end up being ARM if the SATA SOCs become more popular).

        It might depend on the heat output. For STBs you want fanless, high-temp capable kit.
