2 keyboards, 2 monitors, one mouse, IR and bluetooth (assuming you mean a vdr box since you're talking about configuration via ssh) ...
Now you know at least one :)
I wouldnt call that an STB-box, 'development-pc' would be more like it.

Btw, I think this is a nice project and I really don't understand your point in making it look bad. If you dont like it then dont use it.
I'n not trying it to look bad, it just appears that everything touched
by Microsoft/Windows is eventually corrupted, destroyed and tainted.
I wouldnt like that happen to VDR.

Did you ever try to do kernel development and alike? I'm sure if you did then you'd appreciate the possibilities of running stuff inside virtual machines like vmware.
I have an IBM x445 4-xeon box in the office running vmvare and
12 virtual servers, mixture of W2K, NW6.5 and Linux.
