The one you pointed to seems like the HP one with a hot running Pentium 4 and possibly noisy fans. To me, the Shuttle M1000 seems like a better choice for a component sized box, as it uses a Pentium M processor to help keep it quiet.

Yup, also saw this which has an M processor and passive cooling: http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_9912.html Expensive though, maybe I will build my own...
