As title says,

I am upgrading my current system and will have old system lying around. With some additional investment i can make it into low profile HTPC. Its 10yr old i7-6700k | 32 GB | 1060 OC 6GB

The question here is:

Is it worth investing $100-$200 in the old one and turn it into HTPC or buy NUC/Mini pc (~$300-$400)

both have pros n cons:
Using old pc

• initial investment is low for using old pc
• but power hungry and a little bigger profiel (NR200 case)

Using Mini pc

• higher investment
• but lower power usage and profile.

for context, i already have a dedicated server running; so htpc wont be doing running any server.

TIA community.
