I have a idea for a HTPC made by Exito:
case:
Antec Fusion HTPC Remote ( it is compatible with linux )
power supply:
Mini atx, 250 to 400W
output/input
USB 3.0 2x
10/ 100/ 1000Mbps Ethernet
eSATA 2x
Outputs:
stereo
surround
HDMI
S-video
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
VGA
optical
CPU:
Quad Core, 3.0Ghz
RAM:
DDR3 1333MHz 4GB minimum
disc:
Western Digitial Caviar® Green 500 to 1,5TB SATA
Capture Card:
WinTV-HVR-2250, http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/ ... r2250.html
or
WinTV-HVR-1200 ,http://www.hauppauge.com.sg/site/produc ... mckit.html
These cards are supported in linux.
IR transmitter/receiver :
an IR transmitter with enough output power, to control the channels on a cable TV set-top box or satellite receiver.
A IR receiver to "learn" the commands of different IR remote controllers.
LIRC should handle this fine.

low noise fans with PWM speed control.

OS:
Debian Squeeze with MythTV
Mythbuntu http://mythbuntu.org/
or a variant of the system currently used by Excito.
To my knowledge, there are no HTPC's made in Europe that runs linux.
Any comments ?

Re: Excito HTPC
Then I would like to see them build it on Fit-PC3 but I guess this doesn't fit their business model (at this time?).
Building a HTPC 2011 on ATX hardware is IMO overkill. And XBMC is what I want to run on my HTPC
