Is this perfect front end hardware?

[fatmonk]

I've just seen some articles and reviews on the new Acer Revo due out in a month or so for about 150 UKP apparently...

Could this be the ideal Myth front end?

Certainly looks good, and the GPU is powerful enough - if I can sort out connectivity to a standard telly (ie not HDMI or DVI).

Here's the info I've seen...

Should be OK, but I'd prefer a dual-core Atom myself: for the sake of 4W of power and a few bucks it seems a shame to stick a single-core in there.

Yeh i def agree with that. Would definately be smarter if possible.
