I'm trying to build a small Linux media centre and I'm looking for some advice on the best motherboard/chip combination. I'm trying to do this as low cost as possible (since I'm only going to be using it to run XBMC on Ubuntu).
Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Intel or AMD - not bothered which
2. Small form factor (I guess Mini-ITX is the most cost effective)
3. HDMI output
4. Gigabit ethernet
6. Ideally integrated graphics that can hardware decode 1080p and output over HDMI.
7. Happy with USB 2.0 only. 3.0 would be a bonus.
Does anything like this exist?
Many thanks for any help people can give.
