[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1024162, member: 76888"] I think AMD onboard graphics are better for HTPCs than intel. The AMD based Kabini brix, might be good, but it is not out yet. If you want to go slightly larger you could build a miniITX HTPC. It will be cheaper, faster and offer better value for money. The XBMC forums are full of sample builds. I'd recommend going with AMD onboard, and getting a miniITX motherboard that can take 2x sticks of DDR3 ram (Onboard GPUs run better with dual channel 1600 or faster memory). All of the SFF PCs you listed above would be more than capable. I think the gigabyte one is faster and includes wifi, so for $10 more it is probably better value (I might be wrong though, you can probably check yourself) [/QUOTE]
