is it a case of just putting the pi2 into case and hard drive, plugging in then installing music and film files
pretty much 
the only thing you have to manually do 1st is download OpenELEC and install in on the MicroSD card …
which takes less than 5 minutes to do … then pop it into the case and attach a hdd if you wish or attach an ethernet cable for streaming your media. (wireless adaptors are sold separately)
p.s. i put a copper heatsink on the main chip because i have my Pi Overclocked to play retro games as well … (Playstation1, N64, Snes, Megadrive, Arcade etc) … for normal media use, the Pi doesnt get too hot
