SSD adds alot to cost, I was trying to craft something with someone in mind that just wants to be able to stream video ok, and doesn't use it for alot of hard drive intensive tasks and cost was more important. You could always add a SSD later if you wanted, even on the PCIe Mini card slot and keep the other HD as well.
I think if you're really just looking to stream, a 64 GB SSD is a better choice than a 500GB hard drive, and only marginally more expensive.
If you're going to keep a lot of files or programs stored locally, though, stick with the hard drive.
