  The Mibox is probably a better option for a HTPC - it has Kodi (and it is stable), it can do 4k Netflix and it is also Chromecast. This will also save you a good $150-$200. Windows is a resource hog and won't run nicely on these 32GB eMMC chips with low RAM.

  OpenELEC / LibreELEC is a very viable option (and will make a rock solid video player / USB file host) but at $252 it is pricey for just a HTPC.

    Yes, while this is certainly capable of acting as a HTPC, LibreElec will also run well on ARM boxes similar to the MiBox.

    I bought a NUC for HTPC, but ended up re-assigning it to other duties, and using S905-based LibreElec box HTPC, plus Mibox for Netflix, Youtube and some games.

    If you use HD-Audio, be aware of problems with Intel boxes. (DTS and DD are fine.)
    And people tend to complain about Windows running in only 2GB.

  Guys steer clear of Warehouse1 - service, refund and attitude are very low class

  Will there be a coffee lake edition? Like low power 4 cores or something?

  This is a very capable box if you add a little more ram.

  Overkill for just a htpc (go s905), but hard to beat if you need a low power 24/7 box for serving files, video, iTunes homeshare, handling bittorrent downloads, web server, and all the other useful things android doesn't do well, that ALSO acts as a very good Kodi htpc.

  Get the even cheaper NUC6CAYH if you can take care of ram, storage and OS yourself.

  Is the Windows OEM? Is there a way to move that onto and SSD?

    The windows license is tied to the hardware, but you should be able move it to SSD. I'd just do a clean install.

  Price has bumped up now to $279.20 (their additional 10% off looks like it's finished) doh, was going to get two…

    Thanks Phatc69. Sorry you missed out.
    I have marked as expired, although I guess even $279.20 isn't bad, but it never feels good paying more. :-(

      I did think that but it would not be a true bargain.
      No doubt it will be back at that price soon with the next Ebay 20% off deal, but thanks for pointing this model out to me (makes a good backup device for Shadow protect with a second HDD)
