If you are looking for a mini PC to stream video, you've come to the right place. These computers can run a number of services, including high-definition YouTube videos. They can also run Kodi, Plex, and MediaPortal media servers. They can also run Skype on your television. You might be sitting far away from your TV, but that won't stop you from watching your favorite shows and movies. With a remote control and a touch-oriented interface, these computers have all the features you need to stream video.

A mini PC for streaming video can be purchased barebones and includes the case, processor, and motherboard. This is ideal for a budget PC because it allows you to buy a better graphics processor. The graphics processor is important when you are streaming video. Luckily, this function is not very demanding, and an Intel Core i3 is more than sufficient for basic video playback. In fact, you can even get a small form-factor PC that works as a full home theater.

Unfortunately, mini PCs do not come with enough storage to function as a server. The most common solution to this problem is to add a USB thumb drive or SD card. You can buy a cheap USB thumb drive with 8GB to 256GB of storage. Then you can store your entire media library on it and delete it later. You can also copy it over your home network. An external hard drive is another option, but you will need to invest in a box and wiring to connect it.
