I'm looking for a low powered. Low profile power house. Here is what I'm looking at purchasing.
HD Movies / TV Shows.(BD Rips) when supported fully by xbmc
3D Viewing.
Live TV Support (with tuner)
If any games they will be very light.
I'm not much of an Audiophile however It does appear to be able to support a video card that has a low profile capability however it might be an extremely tight squeeze. However If I'm not able to use Bitstream DOLBY TRUE-HD & DTS-HD MASTER audio. It's not a HUGE deal. That might be a future build.

This case is sleek and very small. For $88 US its a very nice price point compared to cases similar to it's design like the OrigenAE M10 which is $300+
MOBO:

I picked this MOBO due to its CIR header on it.
It has an HDMI port as well as the ASRock has the instant boot capability which I really love.
Proc:

I'm not sure if this is to much or to little....
SDD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820220580 $99.99
SDD Only way to go. Seems to be the best for the price. No gaming here. All data will be stored on an UnRaid server I plan on building later. In the mean time I have a 2TB external drive I'll hook up until the server is up.
Memory:

To much? To Little. Just right? IDK
Optical:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6827118070 $139.99
I know it's a bit pricy but then again slimline BD players are. From reviews It looks like it will work with the case. Unless you know of something else.
Power Supply
PicoPSU will be required of coarse that's really not the issue.

The power supply it's self is more the issue. How big to go?
All in all around $600 or so. But I'm always looking for suggestions.
The last thing I'll be looking to purchase for this build isn't really for the build.
