My Buddy owns his own computer store/ISP/and VoIP business and recommended this PC loaded with Linux to make it into a DVR and Music Server.

That looks really nice, finally something without those fugly front panels. And the size is amazing. Does it have SPDIF out? In the back panel it looks as if 3,5 jack is also labeled as SPDIF out
