Q. Using Ubuntu as a base I would customize this to make it quick and to the point. Allowing quick access to the web, emails and media center applications. Can I please have some feedback on this idea and whether anyone would be interested in purchasing one.
Just to confirm this will be built to quick and easy access to the web, emails and media files. So not to be used strictly as a computer!

A. At that low of a price, I can't imagine a custom-built computer being any more cost efficient than a pre-made one. That, and I'd have too many compatibility problems with Linux... :P
Can I use linux to stream videos to a windows pc?
Q. I have an old computer that i want to turn into a media center for my household. The problem is, I really want a linux distro on it if possible. I know Tversity and Twonky don't support linux, but is there a distro or program I could use to stream my videos?

how to speed up XBMC on an old Ubuntu Linux computer?
Q. I recently installed XBMC media center on my old Ubuntu Linux computer. I am running 11.04 and have already changed the sources to the 10.10 release. There is lots of lag in the media center and a very low frame rate. Is there a way to disable some of the 3D effects to make XBMC run faster? If not is there another way to speed up XBMC media center?
A. Disable or low some of the XBMC settings
