Kinda half looking at Media Centre PC's, and wanted to know peoples opinions and experiences?

Basically i've got this PC upstairs which does all i need to do, and fancied a PC downstairs for the TV, so was thinking of a Media centre.

http://www.bcccltd.co.uk/antec-fusion-silver-mediacentre-60-p.asp To me that seems a pretty good price from what i've found so far...

Dual core 6000+
500gb
4gb RAM

For £485 (without an OS)

Would obviously need a keyboard and a remote if i wanted to be fancy with it.

Only thing that worries me is seeing Bolton in the website name

Overclockers sell very similar systems for cheaper I think.

I have got a Media Center PC in my lounge and it has to be one of the best things i have bought.

My Spec is:
Duel core AMD processor
4gb Ram
200gb Hd
512mb Nvidia 9600
256mb Nvidia 8600
DVD, HDDVD, Blueray Drive
PVR TV Card
Windows Vista 64bit

Thats seems quite a good price.

Yeah, saw the Overclockers one's, can upgrade the cheap one to £500 and make it a pretty good spec.

Blu-ray drive i'm not too fused about, got my PS3 for that.

Did you build yours yourself mr chumley warner?
