Asus UN42-MO75M Vivo Mini Barebone PC $ 249 +p/h
usually around $300 mark.
For anyone looking for a barebone pc…these are comparable if not better than INTEL NUC which does does have fan issues on models.

Mind clarifying how these are better than the Intel Nuc?
the case is clearly shiny!
Unless the OP knows something I don't, these VivoMinis have a cooling fan. Albeit very quiet laptop like but not actually fanless according to multiple online reviews/specs I checked.
He never once mentioned fanless. He said the nuc has fan issues on some models, I imagine the fanless ones are probably prone to overheating.
Hmm, don't know why I read it that way, my bad. Thanks.
The original post in the RSS feed initially said "For anyone looking for a fanless barebone pc…these are comparable if not better than INTEL NUC which does does have fan issues on models.".
While not specifically saying its fanless, it was a bit misleading. Probably why it was edited out.
Aha, good to know I'm not going senile, thanks.
MAC Mini used to be the first choice. These days it simply leaves fewer option of upgrade. What a shame
These are running the Celeron 2957U - a great little processor that I've been running in my Zotac Zbox (cost me $120) for the last year or so.
I use mine as a multipurpose media player and server - Win 8.1, XBMC/Kodi, Plex Server, SMB Shares, iTunes server, bittorrent, FTP.
Never skips a beat.
So it never stutters? Are kodi menus fast and snappy?
Btw what do you use for your Plex clients?Kodi is super smooth - definitely never stutters.
I use SMB shares for most of the other media players in my house, except for the smart TV downstairs which required Plex or DLNA. Plex transcodes no problem, even while I'm watching a HD stream elsewhere in the house, running iTunes, and downloading torrents.
It's a decent little Haswell processor (plus it includes QuickSync), not stupidly slow like all of those useless Bay Trail Celerons.
By comparison to zotac kit this offers poor value
Agreed, though you can't deny it looks a little nicer. I have the Zotac.
Low stock!
