Originally I wanted to go silent with a nice streacom case, but I got lazy and wanted to do this box cheaply. I was also going to do a trinity build till I stumbled upon Sandy Mobile Celeron 847 mobo.

Here is my build (prices paid)
BIOSTAR NM70I-847 Intel Celeron 847 1.1GHz Cpu/mobo ($78.37)

HTPC-ITX7-Black w/ IR and Remote ($90)

150W PSU 24 pin-250mm cable ($36)

72W AC adapter ($8.50)

Slot loaded blu-ray drive ($15)

Got a 2.5" drive lying around along with 2x4gb ddr 3. should be a fun build, first time I have used a pico psu. This will be my 3rd itx build. Should be interesting as this will be my smallest itx build. Can't wait for the parts to get here. This will be doing htpc/streaming duty, may possibly put a tuner card in it and see how it plays with comcast.

My total cost so far is $216.64
According to the reviews on this celeron, Hulu and netflix HD shouldn't be an issue like it is with the e-350. I am curios to see how this chip handles emulation.
