    Do you want an actual PC
    Or is it just for movies & music
    What display will you be using
    What will you be using for audio

        Have you thought about a dedicated media player & server setup
        If you dont actually need a PC then this is the route to go down.
        I am running an "XTREAMER" HD media player with a 4TB "E-TRAYZ" media server with a 1TB buffalo HD
        that would go really well with the rest of your system
        Especially the ONKYO
        I am seriously considering getting one of these myself

        Check out the XTREAMER & E-TRAYZ combo
        Far better than a WDTV and i would say for the price a much better buy than the POPCORN HOUR
        The codec support is fantastic
        I play all my Mkv bluray rips HDTV div-x avi flawlessly
        Plus with the E-TRAYZ my PS3's & XBOX running the latest XBMC can access and play most of the files stored on it as well
