    Will it do 1080p flawlessly for XBMC?
    What about Steam streaming 1080p 60? (assuming gigabit ethernet and a good desktop PC)

    apparently this has a dodgy discontinued CPU
    http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2014/04/24/intel-n2820…

    • shaybisc on 29/04/2014 - 11:24

      Good to know. So where can you buy the N2830 NUC?

      • mudguppy1 on 29/04/2014 - 11:26

        you can't they are going to sell the dodgy N2820s first.

        • shaybisc on 29/04/2014 - 11:28

          Aha

          "Those in the market for a low-power Bay Trail NUC are warned: Intel has confirmed that it is holding inventory of the earlier N2820 models, and will deplete said inventory before shipping the upgraded revision to its customers. Coupled with retailers' own stock, it could be a while before the upgraded NUC kits actually start filtering into customers' hands."

          That's an interesting strategy. It's got problems. We've fixed them but we'll sell all our stock of the faulty ones first.

          Oh, and we are going to sell the superior improved one for the same price as the earlier faulty ones, mugs.

        • shaybisc on 29/04/2014 - 11:33

          Thanks mudguppy. You saved me from an impulse purchase I would be regretting like hell right about now.

    • fxxxit on 29/04/2014 - 11:32

      Yeah thanks for this. Wonder if these prices will drop trying to clear stock?

    • CYMA on 29/04/2014 - 14:46

      Anybody able to tell me the exact problems with n2820? This article mentions drivers and usb problems are possibly linked to the CPU.

      I have an n2820 model and have had no issues what so ever (I updated the bios when setting it up in march this year). I have not tried windows on it, running Arch Linux.

      • King Tightarse on 29/04/2014 - 14:58

        I haven't found the exact issue but it seems it was enough for Intell to kill production of the 2820 after a mere three months. That's is a huge cost to them due to the immense costs of tooling up for production. The flaw must be significant, although that doesn't mean it directly effects your setup.

        • CYMA on 29/04/2014 - 15:18

          Alright thanks, I got mine for what I thought was fairly cheap ($165 base) and assumed it was due to the bios problems early owners were reporting.

  • King Tightarse on 29/04/2014 - 11:31

    Not a bad price although I note they were selling for US$128 on Amazon.
    Seems like a waste to go to the trouble setting up a NUC and than just have a Celeron but would be OK for specific purposes such as XBMC (probably) hmm actually I am not so sure about the graphics, haven't tried that one but really would think you'd want at least an i3 so you have some forward compatibility. Celeron = too weak.

    • bargaino on 29/04/2014 - 15:40

      Todays Celeron is comparable to a high-end Intel CPU from 5 years ago, except the celeron uses a fraction of the power. Have your needs changed that much? I find RAM is more an issue on older hardware, due to ever-increasing software bloat.

      • King Tightarse on 29/04/2014 - 16:34

        Yes true esp bloat vs RAM needs but I would kick off any new system with at least an i3 for forward requirements.
        Also I just dont have any experience with the in-build graphics on the recent Celerons but wouldn't hold my breath and obviously no chance to expand/
        HD4400/5000 however, pretty darn OK for common use.

  • schwinn on 29/04/2014 - 12:07

    Can this pump out DTS HD? It says 7.1, but I can't seem to find confirmationm last I checked there were issues with dts hd.

  • NeoX on 29/04/2014 - 13:26

    Got one of these at last sale. Had problem where hdd wasn't detected. Returned got a new unit everything''s working fine now. Although I only run xbmc on it :)

    Streams 1080 through wifi fine.

  • biozet on 29/04/2014 - 13:32

    is an integration guide like a installation guide?

  • drmac on 29/04/2014 - 13:54

    We've used these a lot for video streaming services (business) and we haven't had any issues with them once the firmware is updated. We haven't ever used USB 3.0 devices though - so that's where some problems may lie.

    This is a great price and I've just ordered 20 of them.

    They do 1080p nicely and they run Ubuntu great as well (no need to worry about Windows drivers…).

  • OxfordMD on 29/04/2014 - 14:47

    Can anyone comment on the power usage of one of these versus a raspberry pie with an external hdd?

  • habibby on 29/04/2014 - 19:19

    Are these primarily used as HTPCs? What other use cases are there for these?

    • CYMA on 29/04/2014 - 20:34

      It's a full feature PC. You can do whatever with a ~2.2GHz dual core.
      But yes they are mainly used for HTPC and file servers due to small form factor.
