XMBC Stick for Synology DS112j NAS - Or something else

Hi There can someone help me select some hardware please?

I have tried looking through the forums but am getting more and more confused.

I currently have a Synology DS112j NAS connected to my TV via Network cable - DLNA.
Im really only interested in viewing the films I have stored on my box, many of which are blu-rays i have transferred from disc in various formats.
Currently via the Tv interface, which is akin to looking at a spreadsheet, all the films playback fine.

What I would like is a snazzy looking interface such as XMBC to select the films from.

I see its possible to get XMBC running on a stick, streaming the NAS content via wi-fi?
such as: http://www.cloudsto.com/android-mini-pc-...etail.html

is this the right kind of device for the job or am i going down the wrong path here?

Can anyone help me?

i never heard good thigs about android xbmc beside the ouya. if you got the money buy a intel nuc with 2 gig ram and a 32gb msata drive. the cheap 150 euro celleron works great for non full 3d content.
