Steam in home streaming with an Intel Compute Stick

[GuyJD]

I've got a small itx pc plugged in to my living room TV but it's a bit passed it now as I've had it 5 years at least and bought it 2nd hand at the time, I've been looking at replacing it with one of these HDMI computer in a stick solutions.

 

The main reason I want it is to run Steam big picture mode streaming from my gaming rig upstairs but it'll also replace my NowTV box and get used for Netflix.

 

Right enough setting the scene, my question is, has anyone tried streaming Games to one of these and how well did it work? I've looked on Youtube for game streaming reviews and nobody seems to have really given it a good test with a game that needs a good frame rate and low latency.

 

You can pick up a 2nd gen Compute stick on ebuyer for £80 at the mo which seems like a good deal to me.
