I am running XBMC on atom 2.3 - with 2 GB ram - it is running smooth and fast - I think the Graphic card is very important - in my case i have the Nvidia GT 520 -1GB.
one more thing to add - XBMC Dharma was slow with aeon -
Eden is much faster and smoother with same hardware .

Yes, Intel i3-2105 equipped with a handsome HD3000 integrated graphic card.....and since i3-2105 CPU is a beast, it should handles all skins with ease and it doesn't need help from DXVA2 either....

It's a very nice case for a guy with handyman skill (and you proved to be one....Laugh). If someone want to install after market CPU heatsink/fan without tool and handyman skill, they will be upset....

Even with a big case you can use a picoPSU. You can get a mounting plate that goes into the where the ATX PSU would have been.
