How would a Celeron run on Windows 7/8? I'm after 1080p MKV's and HD Netflix/YouTube etc, can it handle those? Or would you need an i3?

Yeah, this is in version previous to 9.18.10.3165, but also confirmed not working in 9.18.10.3165 by me, as I thought that would be corrected by now. Others in that thread confirmed the same.

Overconfigured just a little bit...
I got away with using a 32GB, and that's with Win8 installed! Currently have 5-7gb free

This makes no sense. If you're viewing both the 4k version and the 1080p version on a 1080p screen, you will have the same amount of pixels/ detail. I suppose the 4k might look better because youtube downscales it to 1080p which apparantly isn't done too well.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But with 2 pristine sources, one 4k and one 1080p, they should look the same on a 1080p screen. The 4k will obviously look better on a 4k capable screen, but you'd need one huge screen to be able to see that detail from a regular viewing distance (living room, >3m.). To see the difference in detail between 1080p and 720p, at 3m, you will need about a 60" screen. So imagine the size you need to be able to see the added detail of 4k at that distance.
I think 4k is a hype that is of no real benefit to any regular household/ livingroom televisions. But maybe I'm missing something..?
(but all of this is a bit offtopic, sorry for that )

To be a bit more ontopic: the new Intel NUC's with Haswell seem great. Smooth Aeon Nox XMBC with HD audio and 3D playback (Windows with stereoscopic player) in such a small form factor. Really looking forward to getting one.

If I try to watch 1080p content from server. I get buffering every 30 seconds.
This is all network wired. Plus the server is gigabit!
Run it off me old revo 3700 is perfect!
What am I doing wrong?
