Mini-itx boards are now really powerfull enough to run the backend, 
unless you go with a card with an onboard mpeg encoder (like a PVR-250). 
The Epia-M boards however make great frontend machines.

The mythtv requirements are beefy. when I was testing with my bttv card 
my underclocked Athlon 2000 (underclocked do to 100mhz ram and the 
stupid motherboard not letting me set the processor to 133mhz) and it 
would chug when watching and recording at the same time.
