Anyone using one of these as a HTPC? Would they be suitable?

 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

For this price I got the Gigabyte BRIX from Amazon. Added 4GB RAM and 128GB nmSATA SSD for a total of about $320. It comes with both ethernet 1Gbps and 802.11a/b/g/n. And modern CPU including an Intel HD5000 GPU.

You sitll need a network tuner such as the HDHomeRun for either chioce.
