I am really bad at this, I have a full fledged gaming computer and gaming computers are all I know about. But back to the point, I am going to run Ubuntu and sickrage and deluge to create a computer solely dedicated to watching tv shows / anime in HD. I don't want a huge comp case but a tiny micro case. If you guys could help me with this I would really REALLY appreciate it.
 
An upgradable machine...

You might even be able to get away with using something like a Pi 2 depending on your specific requirements.
