AMD Fusion HTPC Spec Check

Right, as some may have seen I have been agonizing over what to do for a htpc build. I was all in favour of the ASRock ION 330 until I found these. What do people think?

ASRock E350 Fusion Board
4gb DDR3
Antec ISK-100 case incl 90w psu
250gb WD 2.5" HD

Comes to near as darn it bang on £200.

Thoughts anyone? Toying with the idea of a small ssd as all media located on my network but that pushes up the cost by about £40

What will you be running software wise? Think I'm going to go for Win 7 with XBMC.

Cool. I've never used XBMC before. My movies etc are all on the network. Will it scrape the movie info and fan art and store it locally. Or will it edit the nas drive?

Cool. I've also heard about Plex and also Boxee. Bit confused which is the best to go for.
