It will be fine for streaming stuff from the web (wireless card) and watching DVDs but a HDD for extra storage might be a good idea.

where are the 1080 movies coming from? bluray disks? youve got no bluray player there, theres not enough real storage there to hold them in the unit and 1080i bluray cant really be streamed wireless. What is the plan?

Windows XP and SSDs are NOT a good combination
