westothemax: if you want to make a machine for game emulators, dvds and divx, mp3s, I would suggest getting an X-box and modding it. It would go ~$200 and the TV out on the XBox is incredible. It even comes with controlers so playing console games arent that bad. It has ethernet, so you can pull things from your comp. Last i checked, there were emulators for nearly all game systems including psx. I wouldn't think an ITX (via) could do it, but a shuttle certainly can.

Now there's a cool project. X-Box modding. I've heard a lot about it but I don't know much of the details. It's probably a lot easier than I think, eh? I think people can get their ITXs to do really neat stuff though... they're suprisingly powerful, keep fairly cool, and are ultra quiet. I think ITXs require an additional decoder card to help out with playing DVDs and such, but emulators and mp3s shouldn't be a problem. I don't know though, I haven't done much research.
