Hi all,

As the title says really. Would I be able to build a HTPC running openelec for less than £200? Ideally as small as possible. Would it be able to run 1080p?

I would like to run xbmc with a choice of several skins.

I don't require an optical drive or a large HDD.

DN2820FYK + 2GB RAM + USB Stick (or very small mSATA drive).

Hmm interesting. Is that available now?

depends on where you buy it from.

looks to be only available in the US.

would the celeron be powerful enough for 1080p and HD audio playback?

Yep. If you want to do 3D you might need to look at something more powerful, but straight 1080p is not a problem. If you're really picky about frame-rates, it won't do 23.976fps properly, but then again neither will anything else apart from Haswell.
