Mini pc spec?

[andymac]

Hi all, I currently have a big chunky pc as per sig. But I also now have a small baby. My current pc needs lots of space and a desk. I'm thinking of ditching it and setting up what was the study as babies bedroom in yhe next fre months. I want to go for a small pc to sit in my lounge. I would be hooking it up to a 32" LCD tv. I'd need it to be very small, nice and quiet. And powerful enough to play games on occasionally, but mainly for Internet browsing, iplayer, media store and general media pc use. I currently also have a ps3 in the lounge, but it is limited on iplayer ad it doesn't save programs, and my broadband connection is sometimes too slow to keep up!

What can I buy that would be small, powerful, and have plenty of storage. Either ready built, or Aa parts specs list?

I generally build my own computers, but have been out of loop for about 18 months since building my current pc.

Any advise gladly received!

Well the cheapest way would be getting a ITX motherboard such as the ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi which is avaliable at a lot of retailers apart from OCUK it seems and a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-180-LL or whatever ITX case you like then that means you can keep your current quad,gtx 260 etc but it will be in a tiny box or you could go for a new i3 setup which has built in gfx which isnt suitable for gaming really low spec games will just about run unless you decided to just use your ps3 for gaming...then it would be fine.
