As far as I know XP Media Centre Edition is just XP Pro with a few media related add ons. However, we're not encouraged to get it on our work computers, because there is something called an "active directory" that isn't on XP Media Centre, our network guy just said that an active directory allows them to remotely update a bunch of the machines at work at once. I doubt you would ever need active directory, fov, as you're getting a home computer.
I should probably look up "active directory" but I'm lazy.
PS: I HIGHLY encourage you to get a Dell Ultra Sharp monitor if you have the dough. They are absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a fan of Dell machines, but their Ultra Sharp monitors make me drool.
