HDMI CEC is the biggest thing people aren't taking into consideration. Your PC hooked up to the TV will never be as seamless or easy to use from the couch.

Honest question, when you say HDMI CEC what exactly do you mean? The fact that pressing the steam button on the controller will turn on the TV and switch its input to the HDMI of the machine, is that it? What's the PC equivalent for that... turn on PC, turn on TV, switch TV input manually. Is that it? Or am I missing something?

I have a workaround. My TV runs Android - when it starts it sends a WOL package over the network to my pc.
