Hello guys;

I have decided to put together a HTPC. My mission in this build was to make it as cheap as physically possible. I want to use it for Blu Ray and DVD playback, internet browsing, YouTube, various on demand programming.

Here is what I came up with, some feedback will be great. I have gone as cheap as possible and have came up with a build for £152.15.

CPU: Onboard
Motherboard: Asrock E350M1
RAM: Crucial DDR3 2x2gb
Case: Cit Mini ITX
PSU: Included with case
Hard Drive: Already Own
Graphics Card: Onboard
Operating System: Ubuntu
Keyboard & Mouse: Point Media Center Keyboard
Optical Drive: LiteOn IHOS104 Blu-Ray

Some feedback would be great guys.

Rob

I was just about to put together a similar build, but I'm skeptical of the mini's with built in cpu...
