Picked up this little beaut for £18 the other day... Thinking about starting a little ITX home theatre build using all the left over bits from my main rig project, can anyone recommend a half decent intel 1150? 
Which CPU?

With plenty of OCing room that one, and not too pricey either

Agreed. Proper little bargain of a chip that and overclocks like a demon. People have built budget gaming rigs with it so for a HTPC or Plex server it's awesome.
Agree all heartedly, you should check out the reviews for this little OC'ing beaut
Edit: I think that H series board doesn't allow overclocking. Someone with better knowledge should let you know.

Pretty impressive that board can handle the OC. Although I wouldn't expect any records, but nonetheless impressive and for that price? Steal!

I had a 4 pin ITX board and I managed 4.2ghz. Any higher and it just crashed. The problem was voltage, I just couldn't get enough out of a 4 pin.
