I was trying to decide between this option you posted and the other.. which was for 237 (Atom 330 with Asus HD5450)
I read your guide.. and my box will mainly be booting from XBMC Live (usb) and 80% for watching 1080p m2ts movies (bitstreaming HD audio to reciever) and 20% streaming internet/music
they both work.. but wondering is it better to get the PC with a seperate GPU? also, is it possible to use a wife card in any of these 2 pcs?
in regards to the remote control.. i have a Harmony 1100 wondering if this will work with XBMC or do i have to buy any addtional accessories?

you can't bitstream hd audio with with linux. Please do some more research. This zacate platform has the equivalent of an HD 5450.
It is possible to have a wifi usb dongle - check about linux support. It is possible to have a card, but you must have an available slot.
You need an IR receiver for your comp. Get the HP one, check the forums for more info.

Did you/anyone else actually build this system? I'm curious about the fit of the components (including a regular HDD) inside the case.

Will do. I actually think I stumbled across the answer already.
Thanks again for you help Eskro.
