What started out as a simple pair of MythTV x86 boxes back around 2005 soon evolved into a mission for low power systems everywhere, after finding out about LinuxMCE it expanded greatly into home automation and linking various active PC's to also run as Media Directors. The machines used previously are not listed here at the moment because they are currently collecting dust, they are power hungry x86 boxes so were upgraded to what is listed here. These boxes may be brought back to life for testing at some point in the future but I deem them too hungry to run 24/7 along with my other server boxes, unrelated to LinuxMCE.
Systems
