Users / Hardware advice.

Hi there its been a while since I looked at linuxmce and I am thinking of dipping a toe in the water again and try create a hybrid setup that I can play around with.
I am eventually going to add some of the home automation however I am in the middle of moving so that won't be for a few months.
I'm looking for some advice on hardware and what is the best route. The wiki pages suggest items that appear to be a few years old and I was wondering if they are still relevant?
Is it still a case of linux MCE being 32bit? If so I will leave it at 4 gig memory.
Can anyone recommend a suitable motherboard + CPU + gfx card for a hybrid setup that I may wish to expand in the future perhaps?
The main aim is to use it for media at first then extend to some of the interesting home automation solutions when funds allow :-)
I am really looking forward to adding things to my shopping cart on ebuyer etc! I just want to make sure the pieces I add are hopefully compatible.
Many thanks in advance and keep up the amazing work!
