Try and delete the rose on the top . Otherwise the logo is very nice . I love it ! <| sep |> 1 . Even the first Raspberry Pi is capable of media center tasks . Although the UI on your software will lag like crazy . Unsure about the performance on a Pi 2 . I personally always used a Kodi remote app on my phone to start the media meaning I skipped the UI on my Pi 1 Given the low price , I ' d say go for a Pi 3 model B . This is the fastest available and still way cheaper than a media box . 2 . Most Raspberry Pi media center solutions are based on Kodi formerly XBMC which handles pretty much everything you throw at it . I personally like which is easy to install and use . 3 . The Pi has no SATA ports so you can only attach USB HDDs . You don ' t need to though , the OS lives on the SD card and media can be streamed over the network . 4 . If you install a full media center solution like OSMC , you cannot . If you just install Raspbian and install Kodi to that , you can use it like a normal computer .
