BIG HELP. Thanks a lot.

Looks like this will do. I was surprised to find something that is actually semi-dedicated to the HP Stream Mini. I may have to get one myself. http://hideitmounts.com/products/hideit-uni-sw-adjustable-mini-computer-wall-mount?variant=1096808533 Edit- Not sure if it can be mounted to the...

Well I've decided I need to upgrade the ssd for all the applications I plan to use with this machine. Any suggestions for a 128 or 256? Edit- just saw the transcend in Kaido's notes

Seconded! I'm still going to play around with Metro and see if it would be beneficial in the long run. But this is very nice to know.

Finally unboxed and tried to setup the HP Mini: Added RAM install took about 5 minutes- Super Easy Hardware-wise, its a really cool little unit. Super snappy with added RAM, didn't check it out at 2gb. I'm setting this up on an old 720p Television. I am surprised at how nice...

Anyone using this for Steam Stream? I would say coupling the Metro UI with Steam Stream (Big Screen Mode) and the forth coming Xbox One Streaming would play really nice together. Tie all that together with the aforementioned HDMI-CEC adapter and wireless receiver for controller input and you...

Hey! Thanks for the help. I'm not too worried about the tuner or CEC adapter once Windows is installed. I've seen plenty of instances of that setup working. I just wasn't sure about about upgrading with the Pro Pack. I thought I had read somewhere that Windows 8.1 with Bing didn't have an...

Hey guys- Long-Time-Lurker (mostly gaming pc builds) here... and I've got a lot to say! :eek: I thought I would join as this seems to be the most active and applicable thread for my recent HP Stream Mini purchase. I liked the idea of getting an easy and affordable htpc/steam-stream machine...
