Very cheap one. Very quiet, uses little power, doesn't burn your house
down. Plays blueray or whatever it is, as well as games, too. Small
enough to put on a bookshelf, attractive enough to have in the lounge.
I wonder how much air-con could be saved in a call-centre using these
instead of standard PCs - the savings could be in the millions.
