    whats the best method of getting lots of additional storage for these.

    Are these a worthy replacement for the trusty N40L? (I want something quieter)

    Are they smooth at 1080p running windows/xbmc/sickbeard/sabnzbd?

    • busterau on 07/08/2014 - 12:36

      Nuc's not exactly the best for storage, with what you are coming from.

      In the taller NUC (I3/I5) you can fit up to a 1TB MSATA as well as a 2TB Seagate Slim ripped from its enclosure and put into the 2.5" bay.

      Any more storage and you will need to go external. If you don't want additional power packs, you will need to get a external usb portable hard disk (for example a 2nd 2TB Seagate slim).

      There are a number of USB ports on these and this will be your limiting factor with direct connected storage.

      The I3 and I5 very fast compared to the HP you currently have.

      How is the N40L noisy? Mine has been running for a good 18 months and is pretty darn quiet. Hide it behind a cabinet door with a bit of airflow and you can hardly hear it or look at other fan options. Having both the N40L and the NUC 2820, the NUC (windows 8.1) makes a great front end to the n40L being the backend (running OMV). The advantage is I can just mount NUC to the back of the LCD and have the N40L in a different room streaming.

    • OZB Al on 07/08/2014 - 13:11

      I found the N40L to be too noisy to sit in my lounge room, although if you live near a busy road you may never notice it. I replaced it with a NUC and have never looked back, N40L is now my SAN box in the study (which I'm in the process of replacing with a Raspberry Pi).

      I run Media Portal on Windows 8.1 with a BOXDN2820FYKH0 and have no playback issues at all.

      The NUC varies it's fan speed according to the heat it senses, out of the box it is set (BIOS setting) to a minimum fan speed of 40%. Changing this minimum to 0% but leaving the maximum at 100% means your NUC will be silent most of the time and only run the fan when it actually needs it.

      I bought both the N40L and the NUC from ShoppingExpress and have had no issues.

      • lplau on 07/08/2014 - 14:13

        I replaced both fans on my N40L which makes it whisper quiet.
        I remember I replaced the fan for the HDD's with a Scythe Silent Fan and the PSU fan with a Sunon Maglev Silent Fan.

        The NUC isn't any more quiet, it is about the same noise level once you put heavy load on it.\

        I'm currently using my N40L as a NAS and HTPC setup, works extremely well and QUIET."

        Fan Replacements I used for my N40L:
        Scythe Slip Stream 120mm PWM Adjustable Fan SY1225SL12HPVC
        Sunon KDE1204PKV3 4020 40mm x20mm Fan

        The PSU one is quite important, as the stock one makes quite alot of noise.

        Also with the NUC, don't do what 'OZB Al' said about changing the Fan to 0% minimum. That will damage your board, there has been many reports on the web, the lowest you should go is 15%, however 20-25% is best.

        The percentage variates the voltage put to the fan, if you set it too low it doesn't have enough "voltage" to initially push the fan, therefore you will be wasting power and the fan won't even be moving at all.

        When fan's get older this voltage required to start the fan goes up, which is why you shouldn't set it too low as you may get into trouble later on with a fan which isn't moving.

        Obviously it will kick on eventually even though you set it at 0% however….. by then it is too late and would have done some damage (even if not immediately visible).

          Sorry - I might have confused myself with the processor.

          Version on box - H22962-101. It should be the old model 2820. Assembled ones have the latest bios installed which resolved previous issues.

        @REP

        Are you certain the CPU is the N28 30 , not the N2820?
        Needs to be version H22962-103 or later to have the N2830 processor.

    • busterau on 07/08/2014 - 13:38

      I think someone mentioned on another SE deal that the N2820 they got from SE was a 2830.

      I believe Intel are still marketing the Celeron NUC as N2820 even though they are N2830 inside. This makes it extremely difficult for both customers and retailers such as SE who sell them.

      I would trust if SE are now saying they are N2830 in the comments, then that's what they are…disregard the website, even though its right (its wrong).

      • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 07/08/2014 - 13:41

        Our technician is not around to help check it physically, so base on the version on the box, i'll treat it as 2820. Unless more previous customer can assist on this one.

        • busterau on 07/08/2014 - 13:50

          Ok don't trust the all singing SE rep, he obviously can't spot a N2830 NUC if his life depended on it ;p

    • Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 07/08/2014 - 16:04

      Hi darpy01,

      Apologize for the confusion.

      1. SSDs comes with Free Shipping, the rest shipping applies.
      2. Assembled NUCs are pre-built and ready for dispatch anytime, so the specs cannot be changed. You will have to consider the package 1 for the cheapest option.
      3. Any NUCs not assembled means you need do assembling and installation by yourself. If you do not wish to go through any hassle AT ALL, choose Package 2, which comes with Windows 8.1 and once powered on - it works without the need to do any updates.

    Ugh why did you post the " power cable for nuc "

    The celeron one I bought needs a 12v plug type not the 3pin laptop style one you advertised.

    My fault for not looking close enough but still :(

      Saying that where would I find a power supply for the NUC. There are none on ebay

      Hi Whomastadon,

      The Celeron model we sell already includes the cable. Only i3 and i5 need to buy seperately.
      Are you referring to power adapter by any chance?

      Cheers

        Does the cable come in the box with the NUC? I havent had a chance to open and check.

          With the i3/i5 comes with the brick itself you just need to purchase the 240v to C5 power cable. The celeron comes with a complete wall wart, no extra cable needed.

          Also to note the i3/i5 has mini HDMI, where the celeron has a regular HDMI connection

          @Copie:

          FYI: And MSY sell miniHDMI -> HDMI 1m cables for $6. They also have 2 & 3 meter versions for not much more. Cheaper than buying a miniHDMI to HDMI adaptor.
