That's what I am going to use for the setup, The 
XstreamTec Linux XBMC Midnight M3 - IPTV Mini Web Streaming HTPC Media Player
      Reviews are good and it's a pure Linux Box :) hooking up a two terabyte drive containing my media collection. Can Also stream and pull down data via smb shares if required.

I'm after decent hardware to run XBMC on, I've already tried

OpenElec/Raspberry Pi but was not satisfied with it. I've bought a WD

Live Media Player which I am similarly not 100% happy with.



My requirements are:



* must have power on/off via remote

* must be small footprint

* menu click sounds

* quick response with no lag between button press and on-screen menu

* able to play hi-def including 1080p via HDMI

* remote that is easy to configure

* at least one USB port

* optical digital audio out nice but not essential



I have also been looking for such a device which would fit nicely in the family lounge but wont cost a fortune and have just come across this device:

According to the manufacturer the CuBox-i4Pro is ideal and comes with the IR transmitter and receiver. It also includes Optical S/PDIFAudio Out If you plunge in and try one I would be interested to hear your feedback.
