I just built a x86 kodi box using a J3345 itx motherboard, LibreELEC, two laptop hard drives for 9tb of internal storage and it draws 10W. I have another Seagate 8TB USB drive attached for a total of 17tb. Kodi networks well so I can copy files to the Kodi box while on our home network. The Kodi box, TV and stereo draws ~34 watts when watching a movie, which is about the same as an old laptop. I haven't tried to stream from the Kodi box but I assume I can as it supports DLNA. So far it's rock solid (only built it 2 weeks ago), booting in about 20 seconds. Kodi support Plex so I can stream from our Plex server if we have enough internet bandwidth.
