VIA EPIA board

My mate which has been working on this project with me has recently brought himself a VIA Mini-ITX board, with small power supply and CF card to IDE.

This we hope will work nicely with mythdora 4.0. It has an onboard mpeg2 decoder which will help.

Last sunday we spent some time configuring this and trying to get something to run on the small CF card we had (512MB). Andy is getting a Sandisk UltraII 4GB drive soon and we'll install Mythdora on that. The idea is we will use that along with a 1TB NAS drive so that it's all fanless and low powered.

I'll post specs and pictures soon.
