You can get a cheaper build if we go for a regular tower, though. Edit: that would be it, about $60 cheaper (when you include the optical drive in the other build)

This is it and judging by the frequently bought together section it seems I will be needing an adapter.

This one uses the new miniITX Raven case that allows you to stick a full-size GPU in despite being a very slim design. I opted for 4 GB because I figured a media PC wouldn't multitask much, but another 4 GB is very simple to add.
PCpartpicker doesn't have slim Blu-ray drives, but I found one on Amazon. They're probably cheaper options if you shop around.
Here's one with less gaming "oomph", and much more pure media PC:

The case is tiny for sure, less than 200mm x 200mm. Very mac-mini like, but the case itself it hard to find. This is the only place I could find it so far. Newegg has some StreamCom stuff but not this particular one.
Windows, of course, would tack on another $100 or so to each PC.
Hope you post pictures if you decide to build one of these beauties!
