Ok, just bought the following for htpc and the total price will be around same as base model of Mac mini. Now, I'm sure my build is more powerful than mini but I'm sure Mac mini would also have done a good job with some extra ram and windows installed to have full benefits of HD. or are there allot more benefits having xbmc on custom built pc?
