    Default Custom PC

    Could someone please build me a CHEAP custom PC (I mean for like £200 ), theres so many specs to choose from I just haven't got a clue.

    What I need it for -
    - Downloading media (pr0nz, jk)
    - Occasional word processing

    I am basically just going to be using this as a media centre, what I definitely need are -
    - Bluetooth
    - Wireless N
    - I'd prefer it to be a mini-Pc
    - at least 250GB capacity (got an external)
    - 2GB RAM
    - HDMI OUT

    I don't need anything else, I don't need a monitor, mouse, keyboard etc, just the mini-pc so I can connect it to my TV via HDMI-out.

    Thanks for any help.

    Sure you don't want this beauty of a (Media) keyboard?

    Drat, I got stuck when trying to make a build because I forgot about integrated graphics, Doh!

    Also paying out the extra for more HDD space is worth it, hard drives fill up so fast nowadays. And wireless N is a bit overrated, but I guess there's no harm in getting it.

    Wireless-G goes up to 54Mbps, why do you need N?

    That's a theoretical speed, assuming that there is only one device on the network. Once you add two, that speed halves, and again and so on. With 2 devices online i get about 20Mb/s per device.
