Hi. My opinion is that nvidia's ION platform with vdpau and XBMC gives the best result. The atom's cpu load is <10% playing 1080p h264 so forget the 3GHz core2 unless you want to play Flash HD movies or other non-vdpau formats.
Isn't Flash HD content usually encoded in H.264? That's the case in youtube, at least, and the clips play fine using vdpau decoding in mplayer.
It's not very cheap yet but you can build a fanless one for €200. For example a http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/1072 together with 2G ram and a pico-psu.
