ok having gotten rid of my ps3 am kinda feeling it's departure 
am looking at building a 2nd hand HTPC to deal with streaming dutys between my PC and my flat screen, i want something that will handle 1080P easily, and be mildly quiet, dont need total silence, i'm not that picky
would i be over optemistic in believing that a old socket 478 Pentium 4 single core type system be able to handle this type of thing?
i want to keep costs down so 2nd hand preferably, DDR2 based system would be better
i've got a spare PC case which could do the job on a M-atx based system or would be happy with a SFF case for ITX systems
any ideas or advice would be appreciated
top end budget is about £150 has to include blu ray drive, dont need screen, keyboard or a mouse or an OS for that matter
