If you don't need 3D http://www.hardwarehouse.de/product_info...RAPHI.html will be enough together with 4GB RAM and a 64GB SSD.

Thank you so much for the help Smile
Or cheaper yet - http://www.hardwarehouse.de/product_info...iner-.html

Not sure about 3d content on it, although given it can decode 4k content I would think it should handle it
Or if you can live with the Thunderbold interface (I can), this is a real bargain; http://www.hardwarehouse.de/product_info...bolt-.html

It can handle all kinds of 3D formats, that I have already tested Smile
It doesn't have ethernet port but there is a hdmi out.

Maybe one should Google for the possibilities of that Thunderbolt interface? I use the item below;

I know the possibilities but i thought it should be mentioned in the bargain Wink

Prefer this: http://www.smart.sk/intel-nuc-dn2820-cel...-sata-lan/
Thats what i did, i mentioned it specific in my reply, but even with the extra costs of the Thunderbold to (10Gbit)LAN adapter, its still a bargain, or maybe I'm just mistaken?
No, your are right. It is a bargain even with the addional cost.
