Here is a very simple looking and silent htpc
silentpcreview.com

they tested this one with a i3-2120 which has a
max TDP of 65w...the 2100t might run cooler,
though possibly not much cooler when it is
merely decoding video.

The i5-2400s is also looking interesting to me,
although it sells closer to $200 and is overkill
for a htpc unless you have to have some gaming.
