I'd go for the Aspire Revo as Joseph (and Alan) suggested.  I have an 
XBOX 360 Elite and find it is both noisy and the streaming of movies is 
well how can I put it, not that great.  It'll play WMV video file but 
anything else has to be transcoded and then you loose the option for 5.1 
audio.  I now very rarely watch video on the XBOX 360 nowadays, I use a 
PC instead.

I certainly couldn't recommend an XBOX 360 for video playback, although 
it's great for games.
