New HTPC
Should i buy the following....


  • Atom 230
  • 160GB HDD
  • 1GB DDR667
  • HDMI
  • Ion
  • WIFI
  • Comes with Vesa mount

£145 delivered

I could mount it on the back of my TV, get a remote for it and install XBMC live. Here's a video of it in action.



It can handle 1080p video and will be set up to stream from my server. You think i should go for it?

EDIT: for some reason the bloke has installed it on a flash drive?!?
