I'm considering buying a pre-built system to use as a HTPC with Kodi (former XBMC) installed. I need a system powerful enough to play my blu-ray 1080p MKV uncompressed rips with lossless audio without dropping frames. It also must be quiet and not bulky. I'm leaning towards the 2nd option because it's smaller and I think it will fit on the bottom shelf of my TV stand while with the 1st option it would not fit on the bottom shelf and I would have to place it next to my tower speaker and I don't feel comfortable placing a PC next to a tower speaker (magnetic fields destroying data on hard drives).
