Then there's this.

Already have the mythtv box. That is where I would put the transcoding should I decide to do that. (Plex does sound interesting, I'll put it in a VM and see how it does.)

Rather than miniITX or raspberry PI, if I were going to rebuild my media PC today I would go black. Way more oomph, still under $50.

The "tiny ARM PC" space is getting really crowded... In addition to the 'board' level products, there are a whole lot of 'stick' products (like the chromecast). Usually running android, but many of them support a full-blown linux as well. Now that TI is mostly exiting/ed that space, Allwinner and other Chinese firms look to be picking up the slack and seem to be really opening up "open source" support. Broadcom is going to be busy.
