Hi peeps, as the title suggsts im in the market for a cheap htcp. I would like to spend no more then £170 on this system. I would like it to stream 1080p from xbmc and of course handle my large mkvs. I would also like it to have 5.1 surround sound. Hd does not have to be that large as i have externals maybe 350gb or the like. Optical would be grand and im not that worried about a dvd drive. I have looked at the acer revo and thought maybe a self build could get me better specs.

I have built a pc before but that was over 4 years ago and that was not a htpc, which i must be honest ,i have not got a clue about. so any help would be great.
