What do you want to stick in the case ? I do like this case but no room for backup drive

Cheap HTPC XBMC build - Less than £100

I think you're going to struggle building a machine on that budget, even with second-hand parts.
My advice: hit eBay for a complete PC.
You can pick up a dual-core whatever with plenty of RAM for under £80.
I'd lean towards AMD, as I've generally found their graphics performance is better for multimedia. Most boxes will be Intel, but you can add a card for £20 should a machine be lacking HDMI or if you're worried about gfx performance.

The case looks nice but probably on the steep side again to be honest. I don't think I can find it anywhere that cheap.
Thanks for your response. I completely agree with what you are saying. However as I have a couple of the parts already, such as SSD and RAM I think this is doable.
