You could spend £10 on an original xbox and then hack it to have XBMC on it - add in a couple of quid for a remote and RGB/Optical cable and you're sorted.

Got one of them in the bedroom and it rocks. Accesses everything on the network and plays 99% - doesn't manage HD being effectively a 733mhz celeron, but audio and divx/xvid/mov etc work perfectly. Especially outputting the audio through the optical port into the amp.
