My old PC (P4 with a 935 chipset) is past it. The fans needed to cool it are too noisy.

I am after a small, fast(ish) PC to replace it.

I am not into gaming, but would like something with very low power consumption with a basic DVD drive and the option to add a big HD into a slot. Eventually when prices come down, replace the C: drive with a SSD.

Something I could run a basic media server from with a few USB ports and wired Ethernet without noisy fans.

Has anyone any ideas for such a PC and a good SSD as I believe there are some real cack ones out there?

Some were reviewed about a year ago on the Gadget Show, but I can find little reference to it.
TIA.
