this is addictive. if i get my mini pc, i'll hook it up o my living room tv and when i have those days where there is absolutely nothing to do, i will kill some time doing this...
Get an Acer Revo. Cheap and does a good job, especially with XBMC.
thanks. i've given my friend a list of specs if he can build me one. could make it cheaper by installing ubuntu on there as opposed to windows.
I also found these two for below £200:
Packard Bell Imax Mini N3600
eMachines ER1401 Dual Core K325
I still prefer the Revo. I picked up the 3700 for £185 with Ubuntu on it.
