I am looking for a Mini Windows PC that only needs to run 1 program.

16 Gig storage with 2 Gig ram hell a R1000 7" windows tablet would have been fine if it had a External screen with mouse access. Something like Trekstor W3 or ZOTAC ZBOX PI220 PC Stick Any idea what else can fit the gap. Looking for something below the R1500 price range.

Will do, company just bought one for me to test.

Edit: Did an Access front end that have live SQL data ticker that we need to display in the factories. So planing to use it on large TV's instead of full PC's.

Got it today and started testing for official use
Very Capable unit and does exactly what I need it for. Runs Access db with no hick-ups.

For private, I tested Firefox + Youtube and HD streaming 1080p without stutter. also 1080p mkv via Kodi plays smoothly Will install Steam tonight at home and see if I can stream my PC games which I reckon will be possible. If It works my Remix in my bedroom will retire and I'll get one for myself.

Only downside I found is that Wifi strength/speed is a tad on the weak side. For my Office it wont be a problem as the units will be verly close to the Wi-fi routers. At home I'll probably use my old J5 USB/Gig Ethernet hub.
 
Was thinking something like this with Plex server but the files will all have to be x264 as it'll struggle with x265 which is becoming common.
 
Update 1: Forgot I use a WSUS at work with firewall blocking M$ updates.

This thing is sucking my internet dry, will have to play with Steam tomorrow. Needs to go to 1607 and in a week I guess 15063.
One thing I did notice is that it needs to be well ventilated as this puppy heats up.
