I went with the Libre Renegade since it was on Amazon and had prime shipping but it looks like Amazon only has the
4GB for $80 so it would be pointless to pay that much when the NanoPi M4 is $65
Looks like you can still get the 1GB version ($35) and the heatsink($4) from Love our PI but anything above that would be a waste of $ the main benefit is a solid OMV 4 build and the fact you can use any Rasp Pi case.
Here's the case I bought for $10.
I had to mod it to fit but I was able to easily mount a 40mm Noctua fan to it
So you're looking at around $50 not counting micro SD.
Then I have a 4bay Mediasonic Probox with 4x8TB shucked WD My Books(WD80EZAZ) and Easy Stores(WD80EMAZ). The 4 i purchased were all basically the same white drives which are the same thing as the 8TB reds.
Currently getting 100-110mbs and SMART actually works perfectly.
So total cost is gonna set you back $150 for everything except hard drives.
With that said, I personally would still go the same route since I know its reliable and all the kinks are ironed out.
The RK3399 boards are coming out every day so I would probably get the NanoPi M4 since it has OMV ready to go.
I have a tronsmart Vega S89-H, different box but similar hardware.
I've also heard good things about the Minix Neo line, but I decided to go for the tronsmart because it was recommended to me by another redditor, it has good reviews on Amazon and because it was significantly cheaper. I'm not recommending one over the other, but the vega may be a good option if you want to save a few bucks. You may also want to look at any RK3288 boxes you can find, that is one of the newest chips and may have some good boxes built on it, although I couldn't find one when I purchases the vega.
It isn't necessary, but I got this remote control to use with my vega:

The remotes that come with these devices aren't always the best and I find this one much more useful. You can also use an android tablet or phone to control it, but I kind of like this better.
Good luck with your purchase!
The VisionTek may be a good compromise. It has a nice looking IR remote side. It just looses the audio options (which I'm okay with at this point).
I really like the look of the Fosmon though. It doesn't have the IR, but it does have an independent multimedia key row that would help a great deal...
I have a test setup with these two part in it and I use it as a server. I did set it up with Windows and a external gtx960 and that was quite fun. Great little computer for web and stuff. You just have to find memory which is ddr3l and a SSD which is msata.
Motherboard with core i3 for $117 usd
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JVCW682/ref=sxts1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482054636&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65
Case with hard drive expansion

A mini STX motherboard can be had for $89 and a simple case is is like $34 and you could put a cheap Celeron or Pentium in it. Those have USB c ports built into the front of the motherboard that just poke out of the front of the STX case like raspberry pi's and you plug a power supply right into them. Maybe not super cheap, but you could get a nice set up for possible $250 or less
You can preorder CHIP.
Raspberry Pi 2 on Amazon.
Here are various versions of the Cubox-i at Newegg.
PS. I'm looking to sell my Cubox i4pro if anyone is interested.
The good news is, if you can get a device featuring MDP and a display featuring DisplayPort, you can use one of these to drive it, without needing an active adapter. It's cheaper and more reliable than any of the active adapters I've been able to find (Monoprice's MDP-->Dual-Link active adapter failed me within a year).
You can get a real UPS for not much more than the cost of a power bank (and less than many), and it'll actually work like a UPS is supposed to, switching you from mains to battery and back. A power bank will always run off of the battery, and then charge itself separately. Even if your power bank can discharge while charging (most don't), you're wasting power 100% of the time because the conversion from mains to battery is not 100% efficient.
What I did was built a gaming rig out of a mini itx gaming board and put into a cube case. It's about 1ft cubed. Coolermaster has some nice small cases for itx. Won't find much in a soc config with that kind of video horsepower yet.
The case

RAM and SSD install was exactly the same as installing RAM in a laptop. There's a slot you feed them into at an angle and then push down. The mSATA requires a screw (provided by Gigabyte) to hold down. The PC also came with a wireless card with Bluetooth that's already installed under the mSATA slot, but you can remove it if you want to install a different card.
Since I planned on this being mainly used for streaming to the device, I got a 64 GB SSD and 4 GB RAM.
There's a slightly more expensive model of the one I bought that supports a 2.5" drive. If you're looking to keep your entire library on there, you may want to look into that so you can add a larger HDD. As I have it, I'm running a 1 TB external off of a USB 3.0 port, which is fine in terms of speed, but it's not quite as compact.
Edit: Make sure you get 1.35 V RAM. I tried it with some old 1.5 V I had lying around and it did not boot.
I got this board to run java Minecraft just fine in 720p. Didn't get a chance to try 1080p though. Make surr to have plenty of ram though.
Have you considered a usb capture device? E.g. http://www.amazon.com/Magewell-XI100DUSB-HDMI-Video-Capture-Dongle/dp/B00I16VQOY
In any case, 1080p video may be a tall order for a mini pc.
you can get quite a decent PC for 400 bucks
heck, for 200

heck, with 400 bucks you can make a decent pentium or i3 box.

I didn't find a minipc that could do 16GB, but https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OY8Q0QC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is fanless, dual Intel NIC and can run 8GB. I've been running PfSense on it nonstop for a couple months now.
If you're doing two identical screens, that's nothing. You can just take an old Raspberry Pi and use an HDMI splitter. The RPi can do the 24 bit color, I don't know the exact max resolution, but if the RPi2 can't do it, the RPi3 should be able to.
I don't know about the laptop screen stuff but here's a link you could learn from. That would seem like a lot of trouble though and it might wind up costing you as much or more than just getting inexpensive LCD's that match your requirements.
Writing LVDS drivers from scratch is a nightmare. Unless you buy a display that already has drivers available for your device, it's not even worth attempting.
What kind of resolution are you looking for with this handheld device? Composite video is crap for quality, but it's cheap (plenty of <$20 options), and with only 2 wires to hook up, is dead simple. Maybe consider the CHIP? It's made with handheld applications in mind - they even sell a blackberry-style display/keypad/enclosure thing for it.
