Hey all, I'm gonna cut a long story short and just ask if someone could let me know what I need to put together my own media center to solely run the excellent XBMC.

It'll be tucked away so it doesn't need to look pretty it would need to be reasonably compact mind.

My main request is that it plays 1080p content without any stuttering nonsense.

The media center will plug into my Onkyo 606 then top my 1080p tv

How does this set up look? (taken from avsforum)
