When I upgraded my desktop, I only needed to pickup a case and a few extra parts to have enough for a functional home theater PC. Running standard Fedora Workstation, controlled with Logitech K400+.

I stubbornly refuse to ever connect my TV to the internet.

K400 and a raspberry pi is keeping my Samsung tv offline. Little bit under powered but gets the job done. Movies are fine, YouTube 90%
