MiniPC options

[sam008]

Hey guys

i was looking to buy a very basic 2nd PC for another user at home. The only 3 applications would be web browsing, ms office nd watching HD video on sites like hulu and abc, nbc, etc so the EEE box is out.

I see plenty of brands out there like directron, dell 537s, aopen minipc and others. Which are the most reliable and likely to last the longest? I want a mini-pc or small form factor and it would also nice to have an HDMI-out to connect to my flat-screen (although I guess i can always add a video card later)

Thanks
