I am going to put this down as a Tier 1, because the only thing I had to muck with was the grabber script for Australia, and you ALWAYS have to do that.

Myth version: R5E50
Motherboard: DFI AK75
CPU: AMD Duron 900MHz
Ram: 512 MB
HD: 250GB IDE
Video out: Saphire ATI Radeon 9250 w/ vga,svideo,dvi (using vga, svideo works too, haven't tried dvi yet)
Tuner card 1: Conexant based DVB (Leadtek DTV-1000T PCI Digital TV)
Tuner Card 2: Brooktree based DVB (Twinhan)
Remote: Infrared remote keyboard and mouse
Display: Panasonic 32" HD-LCD flat panel

Works fine, records 2 SD shows and watch one SD recording at the same time. HD stutters.

The display is configured at 800x600, 640x480, and feeding this to the LCD panel via VGA results in a very good picture. One oddity is that to get the proper 16:9 aspect, you need to set Myth to 4:3. This is fixable by using a proper modeline for the TV's resolution, however this slowed my poor underpowered machine down too much.

One other good thing. The leadtek has an RF passthrough connector using which I daisy chained the aerial to the twinhan card. Without this, I would have needed a splitter.
