locked cpu... meh/10
probably unneeded hyperthreading/10 also
I intend for this to be a gaming device. I don't want to get a ps4 or x1 yet because they don't support the 4k format. (Not that theres any 4k games, or a lot of 4k content out at the moment, but it's just around the corner for those willing to spend)

oh and you can pretty much build this computer for <1000$
Obviously, but I don't intent on building one. Also how much less the $1000? Keep in mind id have to have someone build it for me which would cost me, and I need someone good enough to put it all inside of a platform about the same size of the current Xbox, and I'm going to need lots and lots of audio & usb/3 ports. ONTOP of that, it needs to be able to stand up and lay down on it's side WITHOUT heating issues. This mostlikely means it's going to require an external powersupply... Ohh and I'd want it to stay under 15lbs.
/e Also, i'd want some LED effects... So who ever made this would need to fabricate a new case all together or maybe find a barebones kit for a small platform, which would be very difficult.
It gets pricy to meet these requirement vs just getting random parts with the proper specs. And the time and effort it would take to fit all this in a very sleek "console like" case with all my required specs seems like a lot of effort. It'd cost me more spending time on this then it would for me to pay to have it done already.
I want to be able to unplug this, bring it over a friends house and just hook up to his tv, connect to their wifi, pull our some universal xbox controllers and play. When the x1 and ps4 drop, and my friends have their console release party, I wanna show up with a super high end gaming PC that is the size of a console.

The specs on this machine arent what im looking for, and as far as upgrading it goes, you're really really limited to what can fit inside of there, since the hardware runs on the obscure android OS it can't be as good as a system that IS a pc, not just a gaming device.
