Spend the extra on what? The Revo, or on building a HTPC myself?

Yeah forgot about that, but I have some that I could use.

Now some fool planted the idea of a HTPC in my head instead of a popcorn hour or similar, I've been looking around and can't really decide what to go for.

I've found I can get a Popcorn Hour A-200 for £150 delivered, so if I'm going to go for a HTPC instead, I want it to cost less than that (or equal)

I've found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zotac-ION-ATOM-N230-1-6GHz-mini-itx-Mainboard-NBP-/270685667360?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item3f061f8020

...would that be any good? I've got a HDD that I could chuck in it, and would only then need the PDU, case, and IR reciever.

Any advice, or other suggestions?
