HTPC - inspiration needed ?

geordiejc · 19 Jul 2017 at 23:41

Hi so I have a couple of HTPCs (see signature)

I initially built them so I can stream movies and live tv on them. Now I'm a little intrigued as to what else I can do with them... it just feels like I'm missing out on something... But I don't know what...

What do you guys use your HTPC' s for ?

I think this thread is in the wrong place.

That said, you can use them for Steam in-home streaming, which is cool and one of the best reasons to own an HTPC these days.

yeah posted in the wrong place... oops

I use the in-home streaming which is good for couch games but the tv is usually taken up by wife/kids so i'm at my desk mostly.

I have a couple, one in living room, and one in conservatory, both in Silverstone HTPC cases.

Use them for everything Spotify, Amazon Prime, Kodi, YouTube.

Best bit is my HTPC is connected via S/PDIF cable to my amp/dac so I get really good sound quality on everything over the HTPC.
