The Kentsfield cores like the Q6600 seem to be a good buy at more and good overclockers over 3ghz for a 2.4 processor, these are not the latest 45nm processors though

If you want a pre built system or custom you can get a fairly good deal below. I cant vouch for

Spartan 300 features a 3.5GHz overclock, a Radeon HD 4850 and 2GB of OCZ PC2-8500 Reaper memory (You can add more memory, different case etc)

Thanks, but the desktop PC's tend to be too loud for use in the lounge, I know Sony do a TV designed unit, and there are a heap of media centre PC's on Ebay, however they never tell you how noisy they are.

not too hard to make a quiet pc, though it does add to the cost
