This Solution Guide describes the components necessary to build a

Home Theater Personal Computer (HTPC) using Intel

NUC line of

boards.

The focus of the HTPC builds described in this guide will center on the

Linux* Mint operating system using the media center application

XBMC. The builds will take advantage of open source platforms to

construct a dynamic HTPC. Each SKU will be reviewed along with

compatible components needed to build an HTPC that is small, whisper

quiet, and powerful.

The initial sections will review the hardware and software components

necessary to build an HTPC with Intel NUC followed by detailed

instructions on how to install Linux Mint and XBMC.

The target audience for this document includes:

• System integrators
