Hi all,
This is my first post, and just wanted to add that I just brought the following PC, which I am using a HTPC connected to my 40" LCD in the lounge.
It cost £479 from comet (UK), and sits very nice in my TV cabinet.

It is very quiet and plays all my DVDs and 720p content (.mkv) I can throw at it.
I might add a Blueray player later, but as I already have one on my Sony laptop, I might archive my Blueray collection onto an external disk.
It comes with a bluetooth keyboard & mouse, and has the vista media centre remote control aswel, which works very well.
So far I am really pleased with it, and have not noticed any slow down when watching 720p .mkv files.
I would recommend this to anyone who can't be bothered to build there own HTPC or just wan't to buy one already built for them.
Cheers
James
