Dont' waste your time with a slow Apple TV or chrome cast, buy my purpose built built media center for XBMC/KODI/Netflix/Streaming and surfing the net on your TV in HD.
MSI motherboard with built in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Audio/HDMI outputs/LAN input
AMD A8 - 6600K processor 4.1Ghz. With Radeon HD graphics.
Silent slim fan
Low profile mini case (easy to fit in your TV stand)
4Gigs of memory
1TB Toshiba HD
Clean, legal copy of Windows 8.1 64bit
Wireless Logitech keyboard with touchpad, makes surfing the net and sifting through XBMC/KODI's menus from your couch a breeze.
I got rid of my cable subscription and have used this computer for the last 6 months almost daily as a streaming center and PC (email, surfing etc.) I am leaving town for work and it makes more sense for me to sell this and buy a laptop VS. having a box I need a TV to use (which I won't have).
On completion of sale there will be a clean install of Windows 8.1 I can install and configure XBMC/KODI for you with all the main add ons. Project Free TV, Icefilms, Genesis etc. which will give you simple and easy access to every TV show and movie out there in HD streaming. I can also give you the quick tutorial on how to use it and install other add-ons if you need to in the future. XBMC/KODI has a bit of a steep learning curve but once you know how to use it it's a fantastic program.
$500 or trade for a Mac Book Pro. If it's a newer one I can add a bit of cash but not a ton. Depends on the computer. Price is firm.
