Hi all,

I'm looking for some hardware suggestions for low-power/small footprint 
systems suitable to create a multimedia computer for my living room. I'm 
leaning toward mini-itx boards and cases. Specifically I want the following 
capabilities:

Remote control capable (IR port I think)
TV out (svideo is sufficient for now)
audio out (at least 4 channels)
wireless (802.11g)
sata with room for at least 1 drive internal
room for a dvdrom drive
preferably fanless
definitely low power

I can do some simple coding to get the remote control working if necessary but 
I have no clue what would be good hardware for this project and from what I 
can tell the hardware list is a bit vague on the details of exactly what 
mini-itx boards work well with freebsd.
