@wrxtasy - Thank you for the reply and info

Thanks to all for the advice.
So as of this moment i have narrowed my choices down to 3
ll of these will work for my present needs.            
            
Odroid HC2 = $168 w/shipping and all needed accessories:
Pro: Price
Con: Higher learning curve and setup, Performance at lower end but good enough for now.
          
Odroid N2 = $198 w/ shipping
Pro: Price well under budget, Performance looks good for the future.
Con: Higher learning curve and setup

Intel NUC NUC7PJYH (J5005) = $227.00  w/ shipping
Pro: Price still under budget, Zero learning curve. (I have an SSD setup and ready to boot), Performance looks good for the future
Con: Not that i can see.

All things considered the NUC looks like the winner unless you have something to add.
Thanks again for the assistance.
