I went with a Pi2 setup which is a lot better than I could have imagined, its a fantastic little box and perfect in the lounge.
I want a dual purpose box in my games room though that I'll probably dual boot with windows/openelec. Your advice is pushing me towards the chromebox route but I like the look and idea of some of the fanless mini PCs on aliexpress.com. I've got SSD drives and RAM to hand anyway, so it seems a really cheap option as well, anyone got any experience of these or can suggest why these would be a bad idea?
Was thinking i5 like this ONE
Or even a 1037u like THIS for a really cheap option.
Any thoughts?

I would be looking for something with that has an Amlogic SOC, as devices with these seem to be well supported in the Open Source community. Bee-Link seem to make some decent quality gear.
