Hi All,

my friends looking to get a htpc , spending between £250 and £300

needs all parts including hard drive, cheap wireless mouse and keyboard.

No OS is needed.

thanks

Might be worth just looking at an Intel NUC or Gigabyte Brix - if it's just media playback a little box like a NUC with either a 2.5" HDD or SSD and a single stick of DDR3L would be ok for OpenElec/Kodi.
