HTPC - Mac Mini, Assassin PC
Based on your Quiz Results - an HTPC would be an excellent choice.
HTPCs used to be large, noisy and clunky. Fortunately this is no longer the case. Many new HTPCs are based on smaller laptop chips and are much quieter, take up much less room and are powerful enough to play flawless 1080p HD.
Home Theater PCs still require more hands on tweaking than a comparable media streamer or player. Although tech minded owners should have no problem applying software updates and virus patches as needed.
Where Home Theater Computers really shine is they offer greater flexibility and are much more future proof. By giving users a large list of software and media codecs that can be installed, this ensures pretty much any media file can be played back and watched from an HTPC.
HTPCs can also serve double duty with their large onboard hard drives as a media server to mobile devices and media streamers.
