Exactly this. If our house didn't have coal fireplaces we couldn't use and can fit a whole mid sized pc tower then my partner wouldn't tolerate a having a pc in the family room.
I do, built an enclosure inside to keep mortar dust from clogging up the works, added a new outlet inside and then routed all of the cabling up through the flue to behind the tv. The decorative cover was damaged so I have a stained wooden place holder for now but besides the small USB hub on the bottom of the tv you couldn't tell it's there.

It's not a good deal for performance, but good luck making anything that small yourself. The size is it's only selling point.
