my dad is looking for something to store all his cd's on and to be able to play them directly.
anyone know of any similar products in the £500 range?
bigger hard drive would be nice

What about a nice looking micro or mini ITX case, then you've got the option of doing all sorts of shit like sharing through wifi, itunes, streaming internet radio, RAID backup, etc. You could always go nano-itx which is about the size of a CD (http://www.via.com.tw/en/images/company/events/cebit2004/img_nano-itx_cd.jpg) but they're not as popular and you'd get less grunt for the price, however, they do use Intel Atom or AMD Fusion chips which have a lot of power for their size - I run Windows 7 Pro on one for my media streamer (Acer Revo).
Mini ITX
Take a pick of the case; http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/cases-pc/miniitx-cases

Nano ITX
Case: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nano-ITX-PC-case-60W-PSU-smallest-case-on-Ebay-takes-slimline-optical-2-5-HDD-/390474654196?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopComponents_RL&hash=item5aea1a61f4

Hard drive, optical drive and a few cables will cost you a maximum of £100 on top.

Bit pointless backing the cd's up then, but just go buy one of the two systems you linked. Richer Sounds will let you play with them before anyway and offer decent advice

why is it pointless?
he has hundreds of cd's which are stored about the house. this would mean they could be stored out of sight.
