  You can pickup a dual core Pentium processor to put in this off ebay for a tenner.
  
  Any of these will work.

  It consumes too too much power and make it less cost effective in the long term, I'd rather use a more up to date machine for the job.

  I want a browser on my TV.. but I'd be weary of a P4.. been looking at the same site but think it might be worth investing a little more and getting a duel core..
  
  I have no experties in this area so am very open to advice.

  If you're thinking of using this machine a lot, I'd consider going elsewhere. These can consume a lot of power and any savings made initially could be used up in the first year on electricity costs.

  What do you think of this as a more expensive option?
  
  Over twice the price, but twice the memory + better processor

  I have this one Intel Pentium D 945 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache,800-MHz FSB), coupled with 3 internal 1Tb SATA drives and running uTorrent 24/7! Streams perfectly, plenty fast...

  Doesn't come with XP licence (that's a £20 extra), but for £25 its a pretty good machine,
  similar in speed to most netbooks:

  A standard desktop like this will be too loud for use as a HTPC imho.

  Would this be any good for XBMC

  I don't think it would be appropriate for streaming(E.g. Media centre next to the TV) due to the noise, but would be good as a home server

  These machines struggle with HD content, they will require a suitable graphics card from the time to do so. I put them in the bin at work.
  
  Edit: though for browsing on XP it should be fine, i guess £25 isnt so bad.

  P4s had big power draw and got hot - this would be too loud and expensive for a media server or XBMC box, but might serve reasonably well as a basic web browser or office machine.

  Yeah the Civil Service boughts loads of these machines, paid optional extra for the helicopter noise to keep us awake!

  Agree with most of the above, P4's use a lot of power and run pretty hot.
  
  I wouldn't call this ideal for a HTPC - you'd be better off ordering a Raspberry Pi.
