I'm also thinking of building a XBMC HTPC box. I would like to be able to playback 1080p 60fps (28-35 Mb/s) video from the Panasonic TM700 camcorder, which seems to be a problem for most of today's GPUs (and many CPUs).
Does anyone have experience with this kind of video playback?

Hi, I use the linux version with 4GB ram a amd phenom 235e and igp 8200 and no hdd at all. An USB Stick contains the kernel and loads the image from a server into the ram. The music/movies/pictures/livetv are stored on the server and accessed with nfs.
-Works great if a 24/7 server is already there (when will we see arm and bobcat boards)
-The frontend is quiet and low cost
-snappy!!!
