Can somebody help with a spec for a mediacenter please? Ideally, costing below £300? Just base unit, no OS or any peripherals and I already have a spare DVD drive.

Looking to use an NSK2400 desktop case as a base but then I need 5.1 SPDIF and that's where it starts to get complicated matching stuff. Specs would be really appreciated guys.
 
After looking around I think that spending abit (pun intended) more on a Fatal1ty F-I90HD might make sense.

It has HDMI out and SPDIF so I save on a seperate soundcard and have a good onboard connection.

Any comments before I hit the button? The spec now looks like this:


Antec NSK2400 Desktop Case - 380W SmartPower PSU Antec NSK2400 £51.99
(£61.09)
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB 5000AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM £50.99
(£59.91)
Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2 PC2-4200C4 Dual Channel Kit (CT2KIT6464AA53E) £23.99
(£28.19)
Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail Intel £45.99
(£54.04)
Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD ATI Micro ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 £61.99
(£72.84)
