Just to put my oar in, over the summer we got a big TV so decided to sort out HD streaming. The initial plan was to get a Mac Mini but in the end I saved a couple of hundred quid and built my own using the Zotac ION-ITX-B board, a small case and an SSD hard drive. The 'B' board is 1.6Ghz and fanless and happily decodes 1080p. There is only one 1080p file which it's not powerful enough to play but neither could a friend's Mac Mini with Plex. I use the XBMC Live image and it's great. There are a few flaws to do with audio, remote controls and the standby mode but they are relatively minor. I've installed the MythTV software and it also works well. However, I still have and use the MVP boxes because they're quicker to boot, to navigate and display program sub-title info, basically a better MythTV client. For something really small: http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/05/direct-insight-debuts-sodimm-sized-arm-based-computer-on-a-modu/ but only* 720p capable.
