The lenovo ThinkCentre M93P Tiny Mini plugged into a Pioneer VSX1122  for use in my home theater system via HDMI  and set to output 7.1 audio. Any drive activity produces a static sound to the speakers that is noticeable and annoying when there is no sound from the movie or media source audio due to that I would have a very hard time recommending this for use as a home theater PC I updated the audio and video drivers and that did not help also went into power management and changed minimum CPU from 5% to 10% and that made a small improvement. to bad it is a great size for that use. If you are looking for just another very small form factor PC that is capable of performing as a PC then this is for you.
