Devices with an x86 processor (a "desktop class"/"normal" computer) are the most stable and developed option for an XBMC HTPC. Using an x86 computer provides a great amount of flexibility and can be made from spare parts, old laptops, or new dedicated hardware.
Mini PCs
Some people think that using desktop-class (x86) computer parts means having a huge ugly, nosy box next to your TV, but this couldn't be further from the truth. The rise of the miniPC over the years have not only given a small option, but these small options are often budget friendly as well.
Examples

Acer Revo
