Atom-Powered Media PCs

I've had a Media Center PC for a while now - since October last year - and have been pretty happy with it. It's running Win7 RC1 (Quad Intel, NVidia 9600GT, 4GB RAM) and I'm using Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 Ultra for BluRay playback which is now fully integrated into the Media Center shell, making that a great experience.
 
One slight niggle is the fan noise from the graphics card. I've taken care of the main processor with some sweet Zalman cooling but can't do much about the independent cooling on the cards (other than snipping some wires and installing fire blankets...).
 
It occurred to me that I'd maybe over-specced and I'm thinking that might be right after seeing Josh Twist construct this Atom-powered Media PC and seeing @DeepFat's views on a similar subject. Hmm.
