Hi everyone,

I'm looking to replace my  desktop-based xbmc movie playing box with a much smaller and more energy-efficient ARM-based DIY project.  II'd love to hear what other people recommend for specs.  I'd like to build a system with:

- relatively simple and manageable OS (Raspbian has been nice on my old RP rev b)

- some kind of hobbyist board, raspbi or beaglebone or whatever seems best;

- cheapest possible large ssd drive

- a power button (!)

- a wireless keyboard or other control device

- HDMI out

- some kind of a box to hold everything together (likely self-designed out of some very cheap scrap materials)
- power source that can drive all these pieces

- as little cost as possible

So, what do you all think?  I really look forward to your suggestions.
