Yup, ample. As I said earlier, mine handles 1080p and 3D perfectly. I have a few full BD rips which are also perfect.

Been reading this thread with interest as looking to sell my gaming pc and putting the money towards a home cinema build. Why would someone choose something like a micro atx build compared to the likes of the intel nuc? Just general interest in the question.

Good question really! I guess originally I had all my storage inside the HTPC, but now that's not so much of an issue.

With a mATX build you do have a bit more choice for expansion, beefier CPU and GPU if you want to do some light gaming. I have a PCI-E TV tuner which I'd struggle with on an NUC. It didn't cos a whole lot more either really overall.
