I purchased this as a second computer to stream music/video while I work.  I was using an old laptop.  When my wife asked why I needed "another" computer, all I could say was:  "Aw - Look cute it is, and it matches my DAC/amp."Although refurbished, the computer looks nearly new.  The fan does make a little bit of noise, but it's not noticable once there's audio playing.  It's actually a bit smaller than my thin mini-ITX build and it costs much less.
