So I'm considering setting up a small form factor system in the entertainment center to stream audio to our receiver. I don't need a lot of space on the system itself, since I already have a file server set up. I've looked around, and the Shuttle KPC systems seem pretty good - for instance the K45 (or it looks like there's a new model coming out called the K48). Anybody have any experiece with these? I'm planning on installing some version of linux on it (or maybe keeping the foresight install the KPC one comes with).

Anybody out there done this recently? Any hardware or software suggestions?
