    Is there even any point in buying a celeron these days? any i5 deals. how do these compare to the Intel z3736f SOC that are being released? i.e pipo x7

      What do you mean "these days"? Today's Celerons are yesterdays super-computers. Or the i5m of a few years ago. One might ask why bother with anything else these days :-)
      Now I'm off to make a coffee while my kernel re-compiles.

      edit: oh, i see you mean core vs atom architecture. Yes, the atom is good for video, but can be much slower in general use. Don't compare by a single benchmark.
      Atom is aimed more at battery-power.

      • frondono on 16/01/2015 - 11:52

        yeah well the last computer i bought was a q6600 and before that i only really heard of celeron as the poor cousin of the pentium IV. so it was a genuine question. :) oh i think it might of been a pentium III not IV

          I made the same mistake, but they actually kept the name and still use it on the cutdown versions of curent cpus. Lower number of cores and less ram, but same architecture

    • Darkscythe on 16/01/2015 - 11:05

      The Celeron is slightly more powerful, but its the whole cost-benefit thing. The PiPO X7 will be perfect if you only want video playback.

  • tinkko on 16/01/2015 - 10:08

    how much will be cost to deliver to NSW 2148? thanks Rep,

      Courier (Fastway) for $11.80

      AusPot from (Standard, no cover) $31.30, to (Express with extra cover) $70.20

  • Nilfunds on 16/01/2015 - 10:10

    oh, someone will point out that it's a HASWELL celeron any minute now,

    so bl00dy what? lol

    still a good price for a full ssd working box

      The distinction of Haswell against Bay Trail is pretty important/significant.

      Not saying this particular processor is worth writing home about…

  • ProjectZero on 16/01/2015 - 10:25

    Was reading up on this before, PLEX forums had someone saying that this can handle 1080. However, transcoding from 1080 MKV is pushing it abit. This is pretty much what I need it for so it isn't for me, but might be good for others =)

    • Kaboda on 16/01/2015 - 10:29

      I wouldn't rely on this thing transcoding 1080 MKV.

      • ProjectZero on 16/01/2015 - 10:46

        Yeah, that's what the consensus was at PLEX, but apparently it can transcode other 1080 formats.

        The CPU will be at max load though.

    • bargaino on 16/01/2015 - 10:57

      What transcoding do you want? The decoding is done in hardware. Real-time re-encoding is usually done for streaming to a low-power, low-res device, so not a problem.
      If its not real-time, no big deal either.

      • ProjectZero on 16/01/2015 - 11:33

        I want to have a 24/7 low powered machine for stream to my chromecast, currently, I'm using my Desktop which isn't on 24/7. Was looking at NAS but from the comments I've read in the forums here, it causes more problem than it solves.

        As most of the files I stream are in MKV format, this NUC isn't powerful enough for 1080 MKC transcoding from the comments in PLEX.

        • bargaino on 16/01/2015 - 11:53

          MKV is just a container. Converting that to MP4 is trivial.

          Are you sure PLEX needs to transcode the video component? I'd have thought the Chromecast supports commonly used h264 codecs.
          Would be very disappointed if it doesn't.

          N54L HP transcodes to chromecast/roku 3 with no problems. Mines run SSD with 6 HDD, and 8GB RAM.

        • shizmo on 16/01/2015 - 11:57

          @rokkz:

          I am running the same, I agree it 'can'. But once you get into 20GB DTS rips or even normal rips you can notice the poor image quality on high speed scenes etc.

          Very distracting for pro's like me.

        • rokkz on 16/01/2015 - 12:06
          +2

          @shizmo: lol if your a pro, why are you trans-coding ?"direct play" is the go!

        • Domingo on 16/01/2015 - 12:08

          @rokkz: My HP N36L with 4 gig RAM running FreeNAS 9 transcodes to chromecast fine. Haven't tried with files above about 6GB though.

          Occcasionally I do get issues with the chromecast but I think it might be wifi related - my ATV3 doesn't experience the same issues.

        • ProjectZero on 16/01/2015 - 12:15

          @manic:

          I'm not very familiar with the formats for videos, I only go by what was written on the PLEX forum.

          Would converting to MP4 reduce the quality?

          It seems to support H264 codecs, but I do have some videos in H265 as well.

          Again, I am streaming anime fansubs, no idea what format is the best for videos.

        • bargaino on 16/01/2015 - 14:50

          @ProjectZero:

          again, mp4 is a container, not a codec. So conversion is just repackaging.
          MKV or MP4 can contain the same video, audio, subtitle streams.
          Chromecast does not seem to support AC3 or DTS, so they need to be converted, but that doesn't need much cpu.

          some videos in H265 as well.

          Yuck. I'd just batch-covert them to something standard and save it.

        • ProjectZero on 16/01/2015 - 14:52

          @manic:

          Hmm, any recommended program? I've got a quite a bit of fansubs lol. Might have to batch-convert all.

        • bargaino on 16/01/2015 - 15:15

          @ProjectZero:

          Not if you use windows :) There must be plenty of FFMPEG frontends though.

    can you do the price without O/S ? thanks heap

      Hi tinkko, unfortunately we can't make any changes to the deal.

      • asa79 on 16/01/2015 - 18:43

        But most users will be using openelec and Linux based media centres on these things so waste of money getting windows

    yeah these aren't great and an i3 is a much better choice but hey, horses for courses.
