To be perfectly honest I think you'll be hard pushed to find anything 
cheaper than a Revo.  I've been looking at Atom boards with the ION 
chipset (I have a MiniITX case already) and they're around the £100 mark 
before adding memory, hard drive, wifi card etc.

If you're happy to go for something not so small you could possibly get 
away with a MiniATX case and motherboard with maybe an NVidia chipset 
and AMD CPU but then you're going to be looking at about the same sort 
of price anyway.
