I want to get set up with a media center/ browsing PC for my TV. I want to use it for streaming services, all kinds of media playback, browsing, game emulators, etc. At 1080P. I would prefer to have something that I can run Windows or Linux desktop although I guess Android would work too. For $0-$300.
I know I could put together something small with integrated graphics but I am curious about the small stuff on the market now. It is all a bit over my head. I know about the Raspberry Pi but I don't really know much about it. Are there other things out there that are similar or better?
Are there any good options with a small footprint?
I tried searching for some info but didn't have much luck. If this has been discussed before a link to the thread would be great.
Thanks all.
