The External drive enclosure that does what you want is called a PC. Find a smaller low power, what they call a Client or thin Client, or HTPC type, but bottom line its a full PC to do what you want.

Here is THEbox HDD Mulimedia Storage MP4/MP3/AVI/DIVX Media Player.

It does not come with a HDD but that is great if you have an unused laptop drive already or you pick one up to fit inside the box.

So far my dealings with the external media players is very mixed i bought the IAMM NTD-35

I have tried multiple times to get support for it and the company has never replied. Also there is alot of small glitches I have heard of. Such as most of teh external media players cannot read files that have gmc/quarterpixel in them. Well my media player will read fine one time and then give me the can't read error next. Make sure to do your research and I have been looking for a new one and the manufacturer mediagate looks to have a decent product but have not read about any outstanding media players yet.

I guess they do exist, but betting they are pretty close to a PC in a box still. Mediagate sounds familiar, but all of them seem very new. Something to watch, maybe wait to see how the market matures, but they do look kinda fun, and a lot cheaper than units with a screen.
