Gigabyte going to use this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLKvponqV4Q to advertise their new gear? (ending maybe nsfw)
Then again, maybe not... ;)
Intel NUC with more options and USB3.
Hmm, a couple more USB ports wouldn't go amiss. Does it have Bluetooth for a keyboard? I wouldn't mind a version using a low power AMD Richland, or a cheap ChromeOS/Linux option using an Exynos Octa.
It has many of the shortcomings of the NUC, but at least they don't have Intel's marketing team picking out any half-decent features to avoid making a product people might actually want. At least you have the option of some different CPUs, but I'm not overly optimistic about price - the 'U' CPUs aren't exactly stellar value considering they're just low TDP dual cores with various features disabled.
They should pack these with USB ports. Yes, you can get a usb hub connected to it, but it should have at least 4 ports.
More USB ports and the option for AMD processors please.
Two family members of mine would be happy to spend £100 on a box like this, but I doubt it would hit that price point.
I wonder if this is named after a Gigabyte employee that we know - Colin Brix?
Without pricing it is impossible to know whether this is a good idea or not. Would make an excellent Windows Server for me
You'd be limited to USB drives for storage though.
Watercooled: with a 6TB NAS no I would not!
Windows 8 does not like NAS's (I think 7 has similar "foibles") - some juvenile designer at MS decided that everyone should be in the cloud - so I am thinking about pulling it all together with a low powered Windows server box.
You wouldn't have a choice, there's no internal space for drives - all you can use is mSATA SSDs. Unless you mean a separate NAS, but then what's the server for?
Windows doesn't like it if a mapped drive is unavailable, which will delay login time significantly and cause explorer to hang if you look at the drive sideways. And then you have authentication/credentials problems, how *dare* you want to use a different login and/or password for your NAS than your Windows login! It's not terribly CPU-efficient either. Unfortunately we're stuck with it unless another decent protocol comes along
AD can be a nightmare in and of itself though. Aside from implementation problems (and needing a 'pro' version of Windows), there's the issue with logging in if the server isn't available.
"Power of a tower"? Yeah, right, if you buy a bunch of 'em and make a stack.
