Howdy folks,
I'm looking at building an extremely cheap XBMC box for my parents, no hdd is required as it can all stream from their smb sharing server!
I was planning on getting the following;
Case:Black Mini ITX Case with 250W PSU - 20+4pin with SATA (£26.27) -- http://www.ebuyer.com/205560-black-mini-...ta-pix1001
Motherboard:Asus AT5IONT-I (£142.49) -- http://www.ebuyer.com/227343-asus-at5ion...-at5iont-i
Memory:Crucial 2GB DDR3 1066MHz (£11) -- http://www.ebuyer.com/159916-crucial-2gb...5664bc1067
Remote:Emprex MCE (£15) -- No longer available from ebuyer, but plenty for £15 on Ebay buy it now!
Grand total: £194.76
How do you think this will fare with what they need it for, would I be able to build it for any cheaper at all? Or would performance be a tad sluggish?
Thanks, in anticipation,
Kris
