Just seen this over at hotukdeals. Looks a good price for a decent spec. Probably be good for XBMC and will fit on the VESA mount on your flat screen. Here are the specs.
- Intel Core i3-3227U 1.9GHz
- Intel HM77 Chipset
- Supports dual display video output
- Includes 802.11n Wi-Fi Mini PCIe module
- Dimensions: 29.9 x 107.9 x 114.6 mm

I've just got the newer(?) version of this that takes a 2.5 SATA and has a headphone / SPDIF port. It was over £300 so if you don't need the additional stuff then it's a cracking deal.

Mine has just failed after about a week but I'm hoping it's just a one off as it was a cracking bit of kit whilst it was working. Had it mounted behind the monitor and was as quiet as a laptop unless the processor or graphics where stressed.
