[Mini-ITX] Zacate 2x1.6Ghz + HD6310 ($213)

I hate to ask you for any more, but I shamefully willSad... any suggestions in the same price range?

I've been looking at New Egg and Amazon for a while, but it's such a jungle. Very tough to make sense of which are good, will fit with which mobo given how and where various ports are located and maybe blocked, etc.

Also, does the larger size of the case you recommend in the build allow for any additions (e.g. a tuner card) that a slimmer case will not? To put it another way, are there advantages I'm not seeing to going with this larger case?

I am wondering if there is anywhere else to get the mobo cpu combo as newegg is oos and also where to get a similar fan for a similar price as amazon has it oos as well.

Looking to build a cheap budget system to replace my wd tv live plus.

Would this mobo cpu combo work similarly? Same CPU, and $2 cheaper because of free shipping.

Just need it to play 1080p and stream hulu in HD

Has the same video card as the one linked in the first post the AMD Radeon HD 6310 so I think it should work identically.

Thanks for the help, just to confirm this will stream from my media server and should do hulu in hd as well as netflix correct? And play a 1080p mkv?

**EDIT*** nevermind my local microcenter has them in stock. Will this build be able to handle the skin and options you use (in this video) ? I love the look of that interface.

you'll eat 1080P for breakfest!

but for heavy Skins, i recommend installing your OS on top of a SSD!!
