Or the Acer Revo which is cheaper...http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167153

I'd like to get one of these Acer Revos as they have the NVidia ION
chipset which has support for HD video acceleration and due to the small
size it would make a great media PC.

This one also has Linux on it just for Â140 quid !
Can't go wrong...

Yep, not sure what version of Linux is on there (possibly Linpus like the Aspire One?).

The beauty of this one, apart from being small is the Ion chipset can be used to decode HD video. Okay I have the PS3 for that now but I bet this Revo would be a lot quieter. Just got to convince the wife now, by the time that happens, they'll probably have 4GHz octo core Atoms :-)
