Hi,

I'm after some advice as to which system to buy and any issues I should look
out for when setting it up.

I have a budget of around £300 for a media box which will be directly
connected to a TV. I would prefer to buy a pre-built system, something like
Acer Aspire Revo (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172706) would be good and
then install Lucid.

My main requirements are;

1. Output via HDMI
2. Small form factor.
3. WLAN.
4. Easy to use front-end (wife and kids will be main users)
5. Wireless keyboard and mouse.
6. Remote control would be great.

I don't need a PVR as I already have Sky+.

All suggestions welcome.

Simon Swaysland.
