Hey there...
This might have been a previous question, but I'm sure this is the right spot to ask.
I'm thinking about either creating or ideally purchasing a prebuilt mini PC. It would let me stream services like Kodi or Netflix, and also play old-school games. I want it to be easy to switch between gaming and watching TV from the living room TV. It's a small detail but really important. I'm open to other options besides the cheap Android boxes, maybe something more integrated. The Nvidia Shield is an option, but are there other alternatives that could replace it? Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. No strict budget, just want it to look worthwhile before jumping into the most expensive stuff. Cheers,
Alan

Thank you...I made the changes to my post. No budget left, but if it's a good value, I'll think about it. I won't pay just to buy the most expensive items or machines—something practical and durable is what matters.

My Bee is my main hardware power center.
It's a compact device that has been running continuously for over three years.

Great start, thank you for your feedback. I will investigate further and assess whether it can be accomplished easily for a home streaming or gaming device.

It's just another Windows PC, but incredibly compact.
