Is a Acer Aspire Revo R3600 Desktop PC good enough for a HTPC

[Supertaff]

Hi All,

I'm looking to get a HTPC for my bedroom and don't want to spend a lot on one and want a small form factor.

Hvae been looking at the following

Acer Aspire Revo R3600 Desktop PC, Atom 230 1.6GHz, 160GB HDD, 1 GB RAM, HDMI, nVidia GeForce 9400 ION, WIFI,

Though will probably upgrade to Win7 and 2gb ram.

I want this to be used to play standard DVD's (Blu Ray would be good but not essential as only have 3 BR discs).

Will be connecting it to a 32inch LCD via HDMI and streaming via Power Plug network as I do with my main HTPC in the living room

Any views on how good this system is and whether it's capable of running as per my requirements above?



Cheers

Taff
