HTPC's? aww cmon man its a pc for your tv!

Using win 7 and media centre / play to = direct streaming from main pc and film collection.

Web browser = youtube etc
Blu ray player
Gaming (sort of)
with a tv card record shows etc

All sorts of stuff, also people sometimes get them due to space restrictions when they just want a small web browser etc.

Some do have laptop components like the optical drive etc. They are quite popular though, more of a home user thing than a techy who is liable to be on a forum thing!

In some chassis you can fit dedicated graphics card, but we don't sell these. Ours are aimed more towards the media centre side.

Plus it depends what you class as gaming - miniclip? :p

Also, if you want a PC to browse the internet, emails, and general usage, pretty much anything except gaming/video editing, a mini PC is the ideal solution. They're tiny, silent, stylish and energy-efficient :D

HA HA lmao. Fair enough. I'm pretty sure the Rig I'm getting will be well suited for a media center as well as a gaming monster lol.

I measured the room inside a work colleaques mini PC, there was JUST enough room for a GTX 470, obviously id need to upgrade PSU, and the bus was only PCIe x16 1.0 standard, but still, would have worked. Maybe a little bit of bottleknecking at the CPU but meh.

I have a smaller lower spec machine than this which acts as my networking hub. Runs my SMTP mail server, local DNS and DHCP, and external SSH -- this last means I can connect from work and securely administer any other home machine. Runs Linux, of course!
