Not bad, but unfortunately it's not fanless, and the Atom 330
is quite old and slower than the AMD E-350 ...  But it might
still be an option if I don't want to run Linux.

Is that also with an Atom N330?  My home router is an N330-
based box (though headless, without HD-capable graphics),
so I know it's rather slow.  I doubt it can decode H.264
at 1080p.

This is really a difficult decision ...

I suggested holding a "Python Object Oriented Programming Seminar",
but the acronym was unpopular.
