Hi there, this is my 1st post and im reasonably new to using XBMC, I was trying to decide which device to buy to run it on for my TV room, I want it to run smoothly, cost within £200. I dont need web access, play games or use blurays. But being able to use Netflix on it would be nice. I saw INTEL BOXDC3217BY Barebone Mini PC, going for about £130, and OUYA for £99, can anyone suggest any other item or if I should go for 1 of these? I dont have a wired connection going to my TV room atm, so would need to be wireless. Thanks for the help

Zotac ID18 is worth a look too - can be had for about £90, £20 or so for memory and is a great little machine

I had a look at the ID18, but would like to go for i3 or better, my budget is now upto £350 all in, I already have the RAM, and I want the unit to be relatively small. Are there any other options I should consider or go for the Intel NUC i3 3rd Gen. Also what would be the best options for a remote? If I wanted to get IR on here, can I just use a usb plugin? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Ive now ordered the following parts:
Intel NUC i3
Intel 525 MSATA 120gb SSD
Intel 7260 WIfi+BT
2x4gb laptop RAM
Is there anything else I'll need?
Can someone please point in the direction of a guide to installing openelec with XBMC with this setup. Thank you
