Also, no video encoder/decoder which was what killed it for me.

  I’ve read that, but haven’t come across any issues with gaming … is that strictly an issue if you want to also use it for media?

    Yes, only a real issue if you want to watch or encode videos.

      Definitely a valid use for a living room PC!
