If you want something more DIY for H.265 (HEVC) support, the "Intel Compute Sticks" also all support HEVC decoding in hardware

I'm using the lowest end model (2GB memory, 32GB disk) and it absolutely flies with Kodi. Attach a gigabit USB 3.0 NIC and it loads files almost instantly over a Samba share

Is that the one that's only $37 on the Intel site? 2015 model, 1.33Ghz Atom? If so, damn, I made a mistake. I didn't know there were any x86 devices that cheap that'd handle 1080p h.265.
Mine was the "Cherrytrail" model. Not sure which that links to, but it was about $80 USD on Amazon
