I just built a media centre PC using XPMCE2005 and had zero problems! For $575 CDN, I purchased a cheap Asrock MB, ATI 9550, Sempron2400, Haup 250, 160 Gb HD, 512 MB PC2700, remote oem, and a DVDROM. Case is black, desktop style, and fits in my rack. All items were on sale mind you, but deals were not hard to find.
The system works like a charm! Ripped all my CD's to the HD, and pumped the sound to my 5.1 setup. I am never going back! I even get a guide with basic non-digital cable!
