I'd go for the Aspire Revo as Joseph (and Alan) suggested. I have an XBOX 360 Elite and find it is both noisy and the streaming of movies is well how can I put it, not that great. It'll play WMV video file but anything else has to be transcoded and then you loose the option for 5.1 audio. I now very rarely watch video on the XBOX 360 nowadays, I use a PC instead. I certainly couldn't recommend an XBOX 360 for video playback, although it's great for games.
