Now that the Raspberry Pi 2 is even capable of running Windows (and promises to run Linux. XBMC etc even faster), I wonder if it might be enough for your needs. 4xUSB 1xHDMI 1xMicroSD 1xRJ45 (for wired Ethernet) 1xMicroUSB (for power) Wifi is usually offered by a USB dongle. Probably not much luck about a second HDMI, tho. But can't beat the price. http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/ http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/02/02/windows-10-coming-to-raspbe...

I'm considering the Zotac and Asus mini-pcs for the basis of a home-office system. It won't be used for gaming, just spreadsheets, word processing and internetting.

- runs Ubuntu 14.04 easily
I bought it originally to run the last two windows apps I need - personal and corporate tax programs - turns out I can run new versions of these with wine 1.7
I would happily buy another if I needed another desktop box.
