Actually Doug, you don't need a monitor. Windows 10 does bluetooth so really all you need is an iphone. Ifi has an affordable usb-to-spdif converter at Adorama. And the Logitech K400+wireless keyboard is also pretty cheap. In fact, the most costly component here is that built-in SSD. I went the cheaper route with a powered 10-2.0 USB hub(Amazon) and like 4 HDD's, each with separate fan 2.0 USB enclosures(EBAY) for both my main library, backup HD's and system backup HD. I have ZERO issues with gapless playback from an external HDD library.
