Ultra Compact HTPC under $300

[MKDLMR]

Hi All!

I'm looking to put together a very small (smaller than ITX?) HTPC. You do not need to include a disk drive nor OS in the cost estimate.

It needs to be capable enough to run Windows 10 and stream 1080p without a hitch. WiFi should be included.

Thanks!

Smaller than ITX..... T.T
That's not possible unfortunately.
You're already pushing it for an ITX system to begin with.

Thanks for the reply! There's NUC and 5x5 options that I'm researching right now.

NUCs generally won't hit that price point unless they're lower performance celeron options.
