    Anything with USB 3.0 the size of 3XS NUC N5 but not costing more than £750?

    I'm after a small PC, do you have anything with USB 3.0 the size of 3XS NUC N5 but not costing more than £750?

    Hi aeonf242

    It's not quite as small as the NUC N5, but the VC5 has USB 3 and is a fair bit cheaper. It all depends on what sort of performance and storage options you're looking for.

    Ha you asked for it:
    No seriously.
    There is no obvious mention of warranty, is it a standard 1 year?

    Also do you have any small systems with Intel HD 4000 graphics and USB 3.0 (A Stretch?)

    The VC5 is part of a Value Systems range so has a 2 year parts and labour warranty.

    Ha indeed, you had my stumped for a while.

    However, after a lot of digging I've found the Intel Core i3 3225 which should do the trick.

    You'll find it's now an option in the configurator.

    Great I'll probably be in touch in a few weeks, I guess your sales guys can talk me through buying for a company?

    I've added in a 16GB option, it's roughly £35 more expensive than having 8GB.

    You could use any USB wireless adaptor, I'd recommend the EW-7711Uan which is around £10.

    The VC5 includes a low-profile active CPU cooler and has a 40mm case fan too.

    Re: Anything with USB 3.0 the size of 3XS NUC N5 but not costing more than £750?

    I can only I'm very unhappy with the post sales customer service I've just had from you guys, twice being told I was at fault.
    I'll try to give a balanced review later in the week.
    But for someone who has spent c.£2000 with you in the last year I don't seem to have been given any benefit of the doubt either time.
    Looking at recent post it seem like you have some other unhappy customers.
    Sadly I have no proof, as I didn't think I need it!
