OK, I want a nice small ITX system to sit in the bedroom. I was considering the ASRock ION 330 and the Acer Aspire Revo, but would prefer to build my own.
I already have an HTPC in the lounge which this ITX system will feed off for the recorded TV etc.
Now the challenge is getting it for about £220?? Thats the price of the ASRock ION 330 so it need to be similar spec.
I'll be using this for Win 7 Media Centre, playing back recorded and live TV and the odd .avi and .mkv file.
I love the look of the Aspire Revo and found this case at Scan

A dual core is a must, no need for an optical drive and 2GB RAM will be sufficient
Any ideas?

I was under the impression that mkv files don't use the ion GPU for playback and rely on the CPU. I'm not sure if the current crop of atoms are up to general desktop and HTPC computing, its all quite confusing. Why not try a 780G mITX borad since power comsuption isn't your highest priority.
