The cheapest and smallest media center. Tell!

Question

linux

Hello!

I really want to find a very, very small, very cheap media center (flash-drive) with Linux on board (well, maybe android) and the ability to upload (albeit not quite “civilized methods”) my software.
Of the other requirements:
* USB;
* Outputs to a regular TV (HDMI wouldn't hurt either, of course);
* price : $10-20

You can, of course, look in the direction of some Raspberry Pi, but for some reason I'm sure that the Chinese know how to do it cheaper :-)

Ideally, you need a no-name craft from Koreans, Chinese ... who else is there? There are a lot of similar things on alibaba.com, but it’s not very clear what they have inside and how to “break” them.

In general, the essence is that I am looking for a platform for small-scale production of a certain hardware and technical solution.

Answer 1

All the same, I would advise you to wait for the Raspberry Pi, especially since XBMC was launched on it the other day:

I'm waiting myself :)

Answer 2

Synology USB Station 2. Cheap little server with USB output and RJ-45. It is possible to work as a torrent server and as a multimedia server. I personally use it.
