For me something like Intels upcomming NUC I5/I7 should be good enough
-- seems to have Displayport for up to 3 Monitors and USB3 now. And I
guess/hope that Linux support is ok now from Intel. Unfortunately AMD
can not really compete with their current trinity -- maybe things will
improve end of this year when the new game consoles with AMD chips
arrive...
