What is the smallest media PC people have come accross that can play high def video? preferably under £1k, low noise and reasonable processor

To the op - what type of hi def content, some formats require more cpu usage than others, for example h264 seems to use more cpu than wmv hd on my system.

h264 will be the format they will be turned into but also from sky HD etc then convert to h264

Tiny

does it have a flash slot or something to install an OS onto, the media will be streamed from a server so the box will be connected through a gig switch
