Thing with streaming box is that they dont have flash

A intel nuc.
You could setup your own plex media server on it as well.

Nuc celeron - 125$
1x8gb sodimm ddr4 ram - 50$
120gb m.2 ssd - 55$
230$ total

But if you want a plex media server you need the i3 nuc 235$. The cpu is like 4 times more powerful.

Your phone and Google cast

Thanks, its the first time i hear about this.

I saw that you could install Windows and some other stuff ie : codecs

So i could probably install flash and etc ill juste keep searching to confirm it

I dont need it to run Kodi

@yup my phone sucks and the iPhone we have dont have flash

It's basically a laptop without a monitor. So yeah you would need to install an OS.

I got one for my mom hooked it up to her TV and installed plex on it because see had a 2tb hdd with movies she wanted to be able to steam to all devices on the network. Was the i3 version

It will be able to hold an m.2 ssd + 2.5" hdd/ssd. And you can ofc use external harddisks.

I highly recommend something like logitech k400 because it's wireless and has a touchpad.
