Rock Pi X by Radxa
The most bang for your buck with embedded computing! This is probably the most impressive single board computers (SBC's) that we've experienced for the price. This is similar to the Up Board and LattePanda, but more affordable.
Because this board runs Microsoft Windows, it can also run ARC directly. There is an audio jack for speakers and an HDMI for video.

Hmm, I've just looked, and it seems you can get a Rock Pi X from Amazon, its from Youyeetoo for $99. I wonder if this is the legit Rock Pi ? It says its Model B with Windows 10. Small quantity in stock too. I just might might.

Question:Is windows 10 installed on this? Answer: There is no pre-installed system, so you can install the win10 version you like.
+1 for EzAng! He's correct. Nowhere in that Amazon add does it say Windows in installed. Only that it fully supports Windows 10.
Good catch on this EZ Ang. Questions and Answers section is always the best place for me to head for questions and answers. LOL.
I recommend installing windows 10 manually anyway because you’ll get the latest version. Then update the drivers that are listed here. And finally, use the performance and storage tips to make it run fast.
Be careful if you order. Some people got the 2 gig version when they ordered the 4 gig ver. Might be simple mix up.
Thanks guys, I had wondered about the windows stuff too, wasn't too sure. I may still order it at some point.
