Re: [Xen-users] HTPC + DUAL PC In one

[Gordan Bobic <gordan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is actually a good point. My HTPC is a standalone HP G7 
Microserver. £110 new, complete with RAM and a disk. I have a HD6450 in 
mine purely because that adds a better GPU than what is built in, and 
provides HDMI output with audio. But it still means you get a complete 
machine for £150, that will also double as a pretty decent storage 
server if you fill it up with disks (if you need that sort of thing).
