This build is going to replace my E machines er1402. My current HTPC struggles with any multitasking and sometimes streaming via chrome.The new build will mostly be used play .avi video, stream video from various sites and basic web browsing at 1080p. It it will be powered on 24/7 so less power consumption is good. I have a spare 750 GB, no monitor needed or keyboard and mouse. I will be installing windows 7. Using Amazon because Amazon prime member.
