Can this decode and play 1080p H.265 videos? I know it can't do it with the built in chip (hardware rendering), but I'm asking if its cpu is capable of doing so.

Ars Technica says yes - http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/raspbe...

"The new Pi also gains H.265 support for the first time but is limited to 1080p at 30fps."

Kodi struggles with H265/FHD on Rpi2, but I'm hopeful this one will make it.

Any other suggestions on hackable and cheap H265 capable machines?

The Odroid C2 is $40 and can do 4k h265 at 60fps.
