[ubuntu-uk] recommend a small form factor pc

[javadayaz]

I would like something in the less than £100 area...but doubt it. Building
it myself is out of the question...nothing will be that cheap.

The revo has the ion GC which handles the HD content. So no need for a
seperate GCard.

Hadnt thought about asking for the windows licence fee, will do that.
