not to be a jerk but pretty much every other thread here asks this exact question. Just look at whatever people are posting recently. Your needs are pretty modest, most any htpc should be able to do what you're asking. Zbox is way too vague as there is a plethora of models with different specs. The asrock and acer seems kind of pricey at over 300 with relatively low performance. Most people are heading towards any system built with the Amd A* series chips.

I mean I was a bit overwhelmed with all the ready made mini pc some seem kinda over priced...I read good reviews on zotacs and aspire revo then I read bad reviews on them so it changes my decision again....so kinda thinking of making one now and it would probably be cheaper I guess
