Avoid mini itx boards. Or at least hardware which is a little exotic...
I tried to build a PVR using a SP13000 mini-itx motherboard. I'm fairly sure that machine was cursed. The newer mini-itx boards have newer graphical chipsets, and the drivers aren't all that good yet.
Which drivers were you using? The OpenChrome project (http://www.openchrome.org/) seem to claim to support the CN400 used on the SP13000 and I've had my eye on one of these for a while, though ended up with a different solution due to the length of time it took for them to actually start shipping.
