At the moment I'm quite tempted by a ODROID XU4 or C2, but reining it back in for a second I think I would be better getting a 2nd hand Pi and try using one of my old x-HDD (or even just an old HDD).
Is the Pi 2 the sensible sweet spot for the older Pis for this application? My only concern is lack of wifi, but I guess this can be dealt with using a dongle.
