I have a rough max budget of £200 to replace a media centre PC I currently have.

Anyone suggest a decent spec for this budget? Only requirements are that its ITX and has as large a hard drive as possible. I do not need RAM or DVD drive.
 
£200 isn't really possible for anything decent. This is a low end but adequate set up. You could risk a cheap PSU to knock off £20.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £74.99

I would need a HDD, CPU, Motherboard, Case. I have some DDR3 RAM and a DVD drive already. I could reuse one of the older 80 plus PSUs I have but I would prefer something that isn't an ATX PSU. A case with the DVD drive is the lowest priority though as most of my media is streamed from my home server.

Just to add I would prefer a new PSU however I could use an older one.
