Something small I can hook up to the TV for streaming and general net surfing.
Here's what I have so far: Pentium 4560 AsRock H110M-STX Mini-STX Motherboard 32GB DDR4 RAM SilverStone VT02B case and power supply WiFi adapter and antennas M.2 240GB SSD Drive I think that puts me right around $500 before the OS. Recommend any changes? Many other motherboards out there for cheaper. Crucial has a cheaper 275GB SSD. |

It is very rare that I have ever referred someone from one forum to another, but one of the subjects that has more forums than guns are computers. Dare I use the word "trump"? But, I think the only subject that trumps computers are cars.
To the point ... check this site out. I have found it has one of the broadest range of computer related topics of the several computer forums that I am also on. Note the forum "cops" are probably all younger than 18 with the exception of a few lawyers ... there can be some inconsistent control so don't be surprised that there can be arf-like speak, but not always allowed. |

Its a bare bones kit that uses the same motherboard and comes with a case, power supply, wifi with antennas and HD cables. Newegg has them on sale for $120. Use promo code: EMCRFCD65 to get it for around $100. Desk Mini New Egg 32gb Ram is a waist of money for this system. I would just go with 16 or even 8. You will probably be fine with the crucial ssd. I doubt you notice a difference in performance for what you are using this for. |

And to muddy the waters a little more, Intel just announced a USB3 connected credit card sized micro system...

Please explain. What problems have you encountered?  I ended up having to do 4 clean installs. I called Microsoft 4 different time trying to get this resolved. Finally today a Microsoft tech called me who actually knew what he was doing and got it installed. 
So, my experience with Windows 10 has not been pleasant, but I guess I will see how it actually runs now that it's installed. Vulcan94 |
