[QUOTE="glenb83, post: 1023938, member: 91087"] Hi All, I'm currently running an AMD A10-5800K, Radeon7660D tower, Leadtek 2000DS Plus with 60GB SSD and 8GB RAM for MediaPortal (with all media streaming from a NAS over Gb lan), but my main PC died so rather than getting a new PC I was thinking about using the current HTPC and rebuilding the MediaPortal with a small form factor PC. So far I've been considering these 3 options, and want to know what would work best for performance and value for money. I'm also open to suggestions of systems other than those mentioned. I would use a Winfast DTV Gold USB TV Tuner for Live TV. Majority of content is h.264 rips, some 720P and occasional 1080P.
