I would really like to put a small media pc behind the tv to watch downloaded tv stuff on. At the moment I use a WDHD TV (USB) and so it is a pain to keep having to update the drive attached to it by USB.

What I would like to find out is what media pc would actually run windows (networked so it can download torrents and be connected to remotely) AND Boxee and XBMC at same time? Also able to play large mkv etc?

I gather most people use pc's like Revo as dedicated xmbc boxes but I have no room for NAS etc?
