Hi,

I'm considering building a small form factor PC to live under and output through my HD TV, primarily for running SDL games initially and I expect I'll stick some form of 64-bit Debian on it.

I'm thinking a Mini-ITX size would be about right - something that will fit comfortably under the TV, but doesn't need to be too small. I'd like to stick in a pretty big hard drive (> 1 TB) and probably 4GB RAM at least. Graphics wise, I've had issues getting the official Nvidia binary drivers in the repositories working with Debian, but given it's intended use that's probably not reason enough to switch to ATI (binaries direct from Nvidia do work, albeit need manually updating every so often).

I'd like it to support 802.11g wi-fi and preferably bluetooth internally (might require the use of a combo wifi/bluetooth internal card), and as many USB connectors on the front as I can get away with (4, 6?). Support for media cards etc. would be a nice bonus too.

I've done some reading around but most hardware reviews don't generally cover linux compatibility, so just wondered whether anyone might have recommendations either for suitable PCs or suppliers I could be investigating.

Cheers,

Peter.
