Phredeaux's setup is a Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV MCE Mini PC.  MCEBuddy processing is performed on a Quad Opteron, 32GB SpinServer running Windows 2003 64 Bit.

Why the mini pc?  Well, it's tiny, makes no noise and doesn't look like a PC.  Downsides are the video card can't drive 1920x1080 and it uses a notebook hard drive. Intel Core Duo, 1GB RAM, 120GB Notebook HDD, 128MB shared memory video.

MCEBuddy runs on the server and converts from the MCE box to a shared location on the server itself, this means there is never a heavy CPU load on the MCEBuddy system.  I use Comskip for commercial removal of AFL games and ShowAnalyzer for everything else.
