I currently using my Roku 3 for streaming my blu-ray rips but it can't handle higher than 20 Mbps in some of my rips, as it will give me a message saying that it cannot play this file or something like that if I choose Original quality and also I want a streamer that does not have to make my PC transcode. I find my PC a bit annoying as the CPU fan speed goes up and down for movie watching when it's transcoding to my Roku 3 as my PC is near my TV and it's closer to me than my TV is. I'm tried NUC in the past but had issues with them. I also had issues with a Nvidia Shield. I think I'm going to have to resort to a mini-tower desktop PC for HTPC duties. I want to be able to add a graphics card in case I run into compatibility issues with the onboard graphics processor. I already have 16GB DDR3-1600 that I'm not using and a spare 6TB Hard drive but with that Dell PC is listed it comes with Windows 10 Home preinstalled, so I can use Window 10 Home if I run into issues with OpenELEC on that Dell. If I built my own HTPC, I would have to buy a Windows 10 Home if I wanted to install Windows on it since I don't have any spare copies of Windows. Is this PC good for a HTPC running OpenELEC?
