I've got a box like that. At least I think this is what you need,
without some real data on your video/audio needs.

HP DC5750 (RK466AW#AC4)

and then added a nice NVidia video card.

I have been happy ever since. You might also want to add some memory,
since it comes with 1GB, thou.

This particular model (RK466AW#AC4) might not be avaliable at USA. So,
looking at the HP site, I would say it is a little better than the
RT860UT model you will find there.

Best Regards,
