Was looking around for an upgradable and cheap NUC like box. The ones on the ebay specials with Futu and PC-Byte are the latest NUC's that have the Celery Dual Core N3050 - performance is pretty sub par with it being as good as a low end Atom. Found this from Geekbuying using the previous gen Quad Core Celeron J1900 with much higher performance for much less.

like the NUC, you have to BYO RAM/Disk/OS (which I have some around at home from other upgrades). It takes a 2.5" SATA drive (hdd or SSD) and uses laptop DDR-3L's for up to 8GB of RAM. edit - can confirm it also has an extra mSATA interface of supposedly "up to 128GB" on top of the WLAN card. Can use this as the boot drive and stick all the movies on a 2TB 2.5" drive if that is the preference.

Specs:
Intel Celeron Quad Core J1900 Processor
Intergrated GPU
Built-in Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
Gigabit LAN
Bluetooth 4.0
Stylish design,upgradable storage
Multi-language supported for multiple regions and dialects around the world
USB 3.0 Interface

      soon will be on Boost juice menu nationwide!

  • Elijha on 28/08/2016 - 01:53

    out of curiosity do any of these nuc type devices come with duel gig ethernet?

    • promethbastard on 28/08/2016 - 02:02

      Some do, but not at this price point.. it's quite… challenging.

      En garde!

    • rakkie on 28/08/2016 - 13:13

      I was looking for similar and the closest I could find was something like this:
      https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJEJG1A

      But they seem to be relatively expensive compared to other NUCs and it doesn't look like they ship here.

    • bargaino on 28/08/2016 - 14:34

      They do, but range is limited to twenty paces.

      Would gigabit for LAN, plus USB 100Mb for WAN do the job?

    • CH on 29/08/2016 - 03:02

      I'm a big fan of the fanless yumcha MiniPC's, dual HDMI & 10/1000, I have a few with the i5-5200u, the i5-4258u is faster (and cheaper) but a gen behind.

      There's also a J1900 based model with dual 10/1000.

  • altomic on 28/08/2016 - 03:02

    cheap hackintosh

    • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2016 - 04:05

      can't be done, cpu not supported for a start.

  • systmworks on 28/08/2016 - 07:48

    Does this have integrated infra-red for media remote controls?

    I bought a new Intel NUC for $180 recently that does, works well as a KODI media player. This would be even better.

    • kei on 28/08/2016 - 08:05

      Yes it does, in the interfaces list it states IRx1

  • gunslinger on 28/08/2016 - 07:57

    Great device and price if it suits your needs.
    As a media player though, the n3050 or n3700 do hevc hardware decoding and have built in infra red receivers.
    If you don't need them then this is a good buy, comparable to the $250 NUC5JPPYH.

    • Ciccillo on 28/08/2016 - 09:13

      The NUC5CPYH N3050 costs $179 on Mwave website.

      • StewBalls on 28/08/2016 - 11:31

        CHOICE20 will also get it for you from PC Byte on eBay for $180 delivered.

      • gunslinger on 28/08/2016 - 12:27

        Correct, but the tron mentioned in this deal compares almost perfectly with the N3700 based NUC5PPYH which is $249 from CPL. NUC5CPYH gets trounced performance wise but has other benefits as a media player.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2016 - 13:45

        Oh with $40 amex credit thats brings it down to $139 nice spotting!

    • CyberMurning on 28/08/2016 - 09:43

      so you think this cheapo tronsmart cant play hevc x265?

      • bchliu on 28/08/2016 - 10:29

        Probably only in Software for x265. Hardware support for HEVC comes in on the newer Braswell processors.

      • jonathonsunshine on 28/08/2016 - 12:43

        I have a Gigabyte Brix j1900, same CPU. It will play 1080p 10bit hevc at high bitrate under Linux fine as long as it isn't doing too much else at the same time. It does do it all under cpu.

  • retiredfeline on 28/08/2016 - 10:51

    From the reviews it seems that WOL doesn't work. Might have been nice for a wake as needed server.

    • bargaino on 28/08/2016 - 14:37

      Whats the idle power consumption?

      • retiredfeline on 28/08/2016 - 14:42

        Dunno, comes with a 19V 2A PSU I think but that's worst case. I'm more concerned about HDD wear.

        • bargaino on 28/08/2016 - 14:47

          That should be easily be fixed in software settings.
          My media external drives spin down when idle long enough. Maybe not possible with some usb drives?

    • nige0090 on 28/08/2016 - 12:59

      Sounds like good value with the faster CPU + ram + ssd.
      Geekbuying + coupon code "VORKEV1"?
      Is Win10 genuine or supplied by a KMS hack?

      • sydboy007 on 28/08/2016 - 18:46

        how legit the Win 10 is I'm not 100% sure

        So far no alerts to say it isn't. Updates occurring as expected.

        Works quite nice as a HTPC

        • nige0090 on 28/08/2016 - 19:44

          If you perform a full system scan with Windows Defender and it complains about Service_KMS.exe or HackTool:Win32/AutoKMS that would suggest its not legit.

        • andyken on 28/08/2016 - 21:44

          @nige0090: there is always vl or msdn key

    • bchliu on 28/08/2016 - 13:19

      I looked at that but I had spare 4gb, 128Gb msata and spare Windows 8.1 licence from a couple of previous upgrades to laptops so thought this was a good deal. The other is good value of you don't have the spare parts around.
