    How much for no Windows 7?

  • easternculture on 14/11/2014 - 13:14
    +12

    This is a great price for $299

    Individual component prices (cheapest on staticice)

    • Intel NUC $139 @ SE ($150 @ Kogan when SE special ends at 2pm)
    • Sandisk 128G Ultra Plus $69 @ PLE
    • Kingston SO-DIMM KVR16LS11/4 1.35V $44 @ MSY
    • Windows 7 Home Premium $89 @ IT Estate

    = $351 if you wanted to Build it by yourself

    You may find cheaper components if you look harder, but these prices are according to staticice.

        I play 1080p mkv h.264 files streamed off my NAS over ethernet on mine. Offloading audio as digital passthrough to my amp. Using OpenELEC though, no windows. windows might hog some resources. decoding audio in the NUC itself will also take extra resources.

    • SteveBuscemi on 14/11/2014 - 21:54

      Garbage. H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 are all hardware accelerated and you're looking at ~10-20% CPU to play those back.

  • lzwdavid on 14/11/2014 - 13:31

    • mic180802 on 15/11/2014 - 08:47

      Yes they have a fan.. its a small blower type one.. you can hardly hear it, in fact you would need to have it under heavy load to hear it. I own 2 of them, so I have some experience with them..

    Good price. Absolute nightmare experience trying to claim warranty with CPL WMlb. They pinned the blame on me for a faulty RAM in the NUC. The manager kept on telling me once I open it I lose the warranty. What? they sell barebone NUCs and expect their technicians to install all the other components???? F. yew!

      I even got an RMA from the manufacturer and they refused a refund (my legal right for faulty goods) and would only give me store credit. Sold the credit voucher at work since I was never going back to them again. I make sure to let everyone know how dodgy their practices are.

      Same stuff at CPL in Notting Hill. I've actually got no idea how CPL manages to continually operate with clear disregard for Australian consumer law.

      After purchasing an item and having it break (within like 15 mins of using it; less than 1 week from purchase) I got told that the particular item I purchased had no warranty. And literally at their counter they had a sign saying that all goods purchased were covered by warranty under Australian Consumer Law.

      • syousef on 14/11/2014 - 18:30

        Complain to fair trading. If no one complains they have no incentive to change.

        • Innately Incognito on 14/11/2014 - 23:53

          Already did. Achieved almost nothing. It was like a $5 item so there's no real point going to VCAT but how CPL can continue to operate with so many people complaining to ACCC/Fair Trading is beyond me.

  • ColonelTazza on 14/11/2014 - 13:54

    Has anyone tried one of these (or a similar NUC) for steam streaming?
    Any good? Or is the CPU not powerful enough to handle the decoding?

  • mehow on 14/11/2014 - 14:22

    does this have wifi?

    So tempted to get this.

    • MrFunSocks on 14/11/2014 - 14:41

      Sure does (I bought this same model a while back).

      • mic180802 on 15/11/2014 - 08:49

        It sure does. But if you want dual band 2.4/5ghz wifi, I would recommend a Intel 7260 AC Dual Band Wireless card upgrade. All you do is switch out the one it ships with against the new one.

        It was a $24 card when I bought mine recently (and the time before that).

  • d3ft on 14/11/2014 - 14:30

    Could someone explain why they would purchase one of these over a Celeron G1840 in an ISK110 case? A quick Staticice shows such a system, with 4GB RAM and SSD, could be put together for about $310 - albeit without Windows 7, but I'm guessing most people would be throwing OpenELEC or similar on these anyway. A Celeron-based system is going to be about 3x as powerful.

    I get that this thing is small, but there's a point at which being smaller is of no real benefit and comes at the cost of substandard performance and severely limiting future upgrade potential. I'm genuinely interested in the use cases where a NUC is worth these sacrifices.

    • MrFunSocks on 14/11/2014 - 14:46

      A Celeron-based system is going to be about 3x as powerful.

      The NUC is celeron based….

      This NUC is great as a low power HTPC or basic workstation for web browsing and light Office work. I run Windows 7, Plex Server, Couch Potato, SABNZbd, SickBeard, and XBMC on mine and it performs admirably.

      • d3ft on 14/11/2014 - 15:21
        -1

        There's a big difference between the Celeron in the NUC and a proper desktop chip.

        You also didn't answer my question at all. The system I suggested could do all of those things, yet have an upgradeable CPU and be a lot more powerful - at the cost of a insignificant amount of size.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2014 - 15:48
          +1

          For me… The ISK110 is bloody massive.
          You can probably fit six or eight NUCs into the same space.

        • d3ft on 14/11/2014 - 16:05

          @Drew22: Where are you putting one of these that would make the "bloody massive" ISK110 not an option?

        • MrFunSocks on 14/11/2014 - 16:12
          +2

          The system you suggested could do all those things, but it's nowhere near as small or power efficient as the NUC. That is the whole reason why people buy NUCs - the small form factor and the low power usage.

        • salem on 14/11/2014 - 16:16

          @d3ft:
          My mum has a tiny desk. Barely enough room for keyboard mouse and monitor. Under the right edge of the monitor, next to the stand, is the ADSL modem, under the left edge is the NUC. Tiny, neat, power efficient, and more than powerful and fast enough for the gruelling tasks she demands of it (browsing news websites, sending emails, and viewing photos of her and her friend's holidays).

          @salem: Finally an actual answer, thanks for that.

          Really not a fan of the attitude around here to neg anyone who dares to question whether the 'flavour of the month' is really as good as it's cracked up to be.

        • salem on 14/11/2014 - 16:31
          +1

          @d3ft:
          This Celeron NUC is pretty good value, generally, as long as you understand what it can and can't do. The i3 and above NUCs are a sudden huge leap up in price (and lose the free included WiFi), and that's where the build your own micro itx systems start to become the better option.

          Having said that, some people get sick of building stuff after a while, and the prebuilt nature of a NUC becomes quite valuable to them. (Or to people with no technical skills to start with)

        • MrFunSocks on 14/11/2014 - 16:34
          +1

          You questioned why people would buy a small form factor and power efficient computer when they could buy a bigger and more power hungry computer, which defeats the whole purpose of the NUC. It's like saying "why buy a iPhone 6 when you could buy a iPhone 6 Plus?" - different purposes and wants/needs.

          I didn't downvote, but I'd say that is why others did. You basically said that this product is useless because you could buy something completely different instead.

          -1

          @MrFunSocks: You make it sound like I suggested a massive box chewing 200W. The ISK110 by computer standards is already extremely small form factor - the NUC just takes it another, what I believe to be unnecessary given the sacrifices, step further.

          @d3ft:
          I have a number of NUCs not just one, all stacked on top of one another.
          Next to that I have a hard drive stacker. With the bloody massive ISK110 I wouldn't have space for the hard drives.

    I would be keen on not paying for the windows license I would never use, can the price be adjusted? As others have some - that saving could probably be put towards a pulse eight adapter for XBMC.

    • Wimma on 14/11/2014 - 15:53

      I'd say if just one person can confirm it works great, then hardware wise it should be fine.
      From what I've read, there seem to be varying degrees of success on any platform (my pi & ouya can't even connect, yet my laptop can stream using limelight as steam client fine)

    Just a footnote - recently (last week) purchased gigabyte brix j1900 and its much faster/responsive (quad core, double the cache) than the intel NUC and only marginally more expensive (having run proxmox KVM on both the NUC such as this, and the Brix)

    My only annoyance is single memory slot supported (8gb max) as I'd love to have 16gb on a quad core tiny server that sips power….
