Nice, something like this is wanting me to build out an HTPC. Low cost and good for streaming.

Only thing I would've done differently was an A10 instead of the A6 although the A6 is fairly powerful in its self, its slightly overclocked, processor & memory, tried to keep it low cost so SSD's seemed a little out of range to keep price in check. Overall I am VERY pleased, my previous HTPC was an INTEL Core2Duo E8400 with 2GB of Mushkin and thought it was time to upgrade and update.

I've got other builds in the process and more to come so keep a look out! :D
