Spec me - Media box / Part-time gaming

[Indie]

Afternoon,

my parents are looking for me to build them a little media centre to run in the lounge.
At the same time I'm looking for something to be able to take around with me to a few LAN's I have coming up in the next few months... (I don't like laptops and don't want to carry my main rig!)

So its uses will vary - streaming video/photos through the TV etc.. standard media box stuff... on top of that I'll need it to be able to run a couple of games smoothly... specifically Starcraft II multiplayer and maybe Diablo 3...

Must be Black (to fit in with the lounge)
Must be capable of WiFi
Budget of approx £550-600

If more info is needed give me a poke!

Many Thanks in advance!

Indie

Case is due back in stock "in the next week" so if you can wait it should be a rather capable build, hope you like it. (the case footprint on this is about an A4 sheet of paper, they also do a passive cooling CPU thing for this case but OcUk don't stock it, its about £25 delivered if you hit up google.

Note the GPU and HDD are in the clearance line so if you want them order soon.
