Expect a small and portable system - nobody wants a big black box on their floor in the living room!

Again I am recommending the cheapest AMD processor. It's onboard graphics make it a great choice for HD video.
The compact case is smaller than a Sky box and would happily sit anywhere near your TV.
I opted for a 500GB hard drive, as its large enough to store a considerable amount of video, and a Sony laptop size blu-ray drive so you can play blu-ray media, should you not already have a blu-ray player - if you don't need that then you can save yourself another £30.
The Zalman cooler is ultra compact and will snugly fit into this tiny case, and its practically silent fan shouldn't cause you any hastle when watching films at night.
A great value option if you want the flexibility of a PC in your living room.
