I've always been a PC man and it was a question of familiarity with the OS. For example, I know how to bypass the Windows shell and boot straight into Kodi - I wouldn't have a clue with a Mac.

I built it around a fanless case from scratch. This was before Intel NUCs came on the scene. Having said that, I'd probably do the same again as I like choosing the bits myself
