Great for a HTPC. Pair it with Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4, Crucial MX300 275GB SATA M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive and Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard. Very easy to install all the hardware. This thing is really small, silent and fast. Works like a champ. Word of caution, to fully use this PC's potential, you need to use Windows 10, the processor is optimized for that OS, to the point that Intel only have Windows 10 drivers on it's page. I had to install Windows 8 to update to Windows 10, and it was a little troublesome. Also, you have to download all the drivers and the update for the Bios from Intel's webpage, but at the end I'm very happy with it.
