Use the PC for capturing and serving, but watch using a WDTV Live? This won't give you the PVR convenience, but if you mostly want it for time-shifting, it should work. This allows keeping the noisy computer in another room, and then you just need the tiny (and fanless) WDTV near the display. (Or instead of the WDTV Live, one of the various other 1080p media players: go to the Amazon listing for the WDTV Live and you'll find links to a slew of competitors.)
