Researched it, but for the reasons on this Apple Forum thread, I decided in favor of the Lenovo M900 Tiny.Cut-Throat

Cut-Throat, enjoyed reading the thread you referenced. I'm in no hurry so I'm still hoping Apple will upgrade the Mac Mini in 2017. The only thing that catches my interest is the Raspberry pi3, which I would have to figure out if it can do what I want, which is strictly audio streaming from internet sources like Spotify, Internet TV sources like ABC and CBS, Blue Tooth mouse & keyboard control, monitor.
Yes, the RPi 3 can do all the things you want and it is cheap to boot.... I bought 5 of them and took 1 here to the Bahamas for the winter, so that I get my Spotify, Internet Radio and can plan my Music Library as well..... They are very easy to set up now with PiCorePlayer. Just follow the instructions on the below link.You could buy a RPi 3 for around $35, A Digi+ Board from HifiBerry for Digitial Outputs for around $35 and a Case for another $10 to $15, and a Power Supply for another $10..... Less than $100......Very cheap in the Audio World....
