I would never buy from Matricom, they're just a reseller of OEM products from Chinese OEM manufacturers with dubious quality control.
My favourite low cost platform:
(Amazon prices)
* Zotac INTEL 1007U - 127$
* Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1333 SODIMM - 23$ x 2 = 46$
* WD Blue 320 GB - 39$ (Windows based) / Patriot 32GB Tab USB 3.0 - 25$ (OpenELEC based)
* MCE Remote - 20$
Sum: 232$ / 218$
For better performance I would go with a Haswell i3 Nuc like D34010WYK - 300$.
