How are you going to play really high definition videos (1080p mate) without a GC capable of hardware decoding? Unless.. intel x3100 is capable of that. I'm never sure which intel GC supports hardware decoding.

Bad buy unless intel x3100 can do hardware decoding.

It is probably cheaper to use amd/ati hardware too. On power requirements, I'm not sure, heard some amd is more power efficient than atom albeit the big board size (dunno how to say this, the thing that got the processor glued/soldered on it, whatever you call it).

Dell does custom mobos right? So go buy amd/ati chips and slap it on an itx form factor lol. Sorry if I act fanboyish, I do prefer c2d for my gaming pc you know. AMD is just simply cheaper for this purpose.

Good design nonetheless, looks perfect for an HTPC.

EDIT:RM2k without considering monitor?

Thanks for the clarification. About x3100, can it handle h.264 1080p decoding though? You know... anime fans(me included) .

Okay, that's me being mean. It exists. Read what djilah said.
