    I've been reading reviews on a few

    this is to go under the TV in my bedroom, streaming MKVs via Gigabit

    I've looked at the WD TV but the ethernet port apparently maxes out at 10MB/s which is pretty poor and not enough bandwidth for a large MKV

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I could build a mini-itx one but wanted to look at all in ones first

    thanks

    To be honest, with fully built mini-ITX one's costing around $250 these days vs. $200 for the media hubs, it is far better to go for a mini-ITX. If you only plan on streaming and not storing the stuff locally, then I suggest you look at some of the review sites for the media hubs.

    I personally have several Argosy 335Ts, neat little things but limited in capability.
