Braswell NUC5PGYH with 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC, and Windows 10, retailing for $255.
I'm a big fan of these NUCs. I shelled out for the i7 version (BOXNUC5I7RYHR) last week. Threw 16GB of ram and an SSD in it, and installed Windows Server 2012 over the weekend. Easily the best low-power home theatre/server I've ever used. Didn't particularly break the bank, either.
My only major complaint is Intel's lack of support for Windows Server. I had to mess around with the driver inf files to actually get the network adapter to install. Who are Intel to decide what I should or shouldn't be using the machine for?
where can I find this epic 0.24Ghz quad-core with 2GB of RAM

The only consolation is you can what up the temperature thresholds so it rarely kicks in.
Did they design the placement of the ports on the back using a paintgun, from 100 yards?

Of course, some non-spammers get caught in that, as it seems you have. Don't worry, though. The restriction doesn't last long.
Effort successfully ruined with your second ever post ;)Quote:

I'm using an incomplete NUC, NUC5i7RYH, into which I myself installed M.2 SSD and DDR3 memory. It's true that it is small but powerful. However, it's not silent and cool at high load. Hope further improvements will come soon.
Intel seem like they're trying to take on the Mac Mini with this.
Thrown an i7 and an SSD in there like AlexKitch and you have something that should be pretty and versatile. Now, who's going to try and squeeze a mini 970 in there and make mATX and even mITX look humongous?

You, however, are entitled to either buy things that include support for your use scenarios or to put in your own effort to make it work.
Next you'll be complaining you the NUC doesn't come with a futureproof upgradable forever guarantee.
Steady on! :)Quote:

My issue is that these machines make great home servers and, as such, plenty of people are choosing to install server grade operating systems onto them, yet Intel aren't willing to provide any drivers whatsoever - despite the fact that most of the Windows 8 drivers work perfectly well with a few lines in the .INF file swapped round. It seems a shame to shoot your own product in one of its [perfectly good] feet rather than provide even the most basic driver support.
It will be a marketing choice as much as anything.
If you aim hardware at consumers, why provide support for anything but consumer OSes?
My point was, you shouldn't expect support for something just because you want to do it.
