    I think I'm about to get a visit from the jolly St Nuc!

  • It was a better deal 2 days ago

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/169382

    • +13

      This one has SSD, the previous one is HDD. I believe this will be a better deal.

      • +2

        Yep. I stand corrected

  • +9

    How much for no Windows 7?

  • +12

    This is a great price for $299

    Individual component prices (cheapest on staticice)

    • Intel NUC $139 @ SE ($150 @ Kogan when SE special ends at 2pm)
    • Sandisk 128G Ultra Plus $69 @ PLE
    • Kingston SO-DIMM KVR16LS11/4 1.35V $44 @ MSY
    • Windows 7 Home Premium $89 @ IT Estate

    = $351 if you wanted to Build it by yourself

    You may find cheaper components if you look harder, but these prices are according to staticice.

    • +3

      But I already have a spare Windows 7 license mate. I want to save $89.00, not purchase another.

      • +1

        you would have to pm the REP about that. Cant help you much their

        • +1

          Yep, replied in the wrong box as I thought you were the rep for a second. Just get used to you posting so many deals!

  • the cpu is quite underpower to stream Blueray FHD movies i chose the one with i3 processor

    • But streaming FHD MKV's will be fine right?

      • +2

        I play 1080p mkv h.264 files streamed off my NAS over ethernet on mine. Offloading audio as digital passthrough to my amp. Using OpenELEC though, no windows. windows might hog some resources. decoding audio in the NUC itself will also take extra resources.

    • +2

      Garbage. H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 are all hardware accelerated and you're looking at ~10-20% CPU to play those back.

  • It's a great price, but may I.ask is this unit has a fan in it?

    • Yes they have a fan.. its a small blower type one.. you can hardly hear it, in fact you would need to have it under heavy load to hear it. I own 2 of them, so I have some experience with them..

  • +4

    Windows 7 is good, but Linux is better and even free. Can you make a deal without Windows?

  • +10

    Good price. Absolute nightmare experience trying to claim warranty with CPL WMlb. They pinned the blame on me for a faulty RAM in the NUC. The manager kept on telling me once I open it I lose the warranty. What? they sell barebone NUCs and expect their technicians to install all the other components???? F. yew!

    Never Again!

    • +5

      yeh unfortunately their reputation in that area is not the best… :)

    • +3

      I even got an RMA from the manufacturer and they refused a refund (my legal right for faulty goods) and would only give me store credit. Sold the credit voucher at work since I was never going back to them again. I make sure to let everyone know how dodgy their practices are.

      All the reason I've happily stopped shopping at cpl…. ozb is a different basket… all about the bottom line dollar. Till U get bitten.

      • "Till U get bitten."

        twice.

    • Same stuff at CPL in Notting Hill. I've actually got no idea how CPL manages to continually operate with clear disregard for Australian consumer law.

      After purchasing an item and having it break (within like 15 mins of using it; less than 1 week from purchase) I got told that the particular item I purchased had no warranty. And literally at their counter they had a sign saying that all goods purchased were covered by warranty under Australian Consumer Law.

      • Complain to fair trading. If no one complains they have no incentive to change.

        • Already did. Achieved almost nothing. It was like a $5 item so there's no real point going to VCAT but how CPL can continue to operate with so many people complaining to ACCC/Fair Trading is beyond me.

    I need a i3 NUC without ssd and OS, how much would it be, Rep?

  • Has anyone tried one of these (or a similar NUC) for steam streaming?
    Any good? Or is the CPU not powerful enough to handle the decoding?

  • does this have wifi?

    So tempted to get this.

    • Sure does (I bought this same model a while back).

      • It sure does. But if you want dual band 2.4/5ghz wifi, I would recommend a Intel 7260 AC Dual Band Wireless card upgrade. All you do is switch out the one it ships with against the new one.

        It was a $24 card when I bought mine recently (and the time before that).

    Could someone explain why they would purchase one of these over a Celeron G1840 in an ISK110 case? A quick Staticice shows such a system, with 4GB RAM and SSD, could be put together for about $310 - albeit without Windows 7, but I'm guessing most people would be throwing OpenELEC or similar on these anyway. A Celeron-based system is going to be about 3x as powerful.

    I get that this thing is small, but there's a point at which being smaller is of no real benefit and comes at the cost of substandard performance and severely limiting future upgrade potential. I'm genuinely interested in the use cases where a NUC is worth these sacrifices.

    • A Celeron-based system is going to be about 3x as powerful.

      The NUC is celeron based….

      This NUC is great as a low power HTPC or basic workstation for web browsing and light Office work. I run Windows 7, Plex Server, Couch Potato, SABNZbd, SickBeard, and XBMC on mine and it performs admirably.

      • -1

        There's a big difference between the Celeron in the NUC and a proper desktop chip.

        You also didn't answer my question at all. The system I suggested could do all of those things, yet have an upgradeable CPU and be a lot more powerful - at the cost of a insignificant amount of size.

        • +1

          For me… The ISK110 is bloody massive.
          You can probably fit six or eight NUCs into the same space.

        • @Drew22: Where are you putting one of these that would make the "bloody massive" ISK110 not an option?

        • +2

          The system you suggested could do all those things, but it's nowhere near as small or power efficient as the NUC. That is the whole reason why people buy NUCs - the small form factor and the low power usage.

        • @d3ft:
          My mum has a tiny desk. Barely enough room for keyboard mouse and monitor. Under the right edge of the monitor, next to the stand, is the ADSL modem, under the left edge is the NUC. Tiny, neat, power efficient, and more than powerful and fast enough for the gruelling tasks she demands of it (browsing news websites, sending emails, and viewing photos of her and her friend's holidays).

        • -2

          @salem: Finally an actual answer, thanks for that.

          Really not a fan of the attitude around here to neg anyone who dares to question whether the 'flavour of the month' is really as good as it's cracked up to be.

        • +1

          @d3ft:
          This Celeron NUC is pretty good value, generally, as long as you understand what it can and can't do. The i3 and above NUCs are a sudden huge leap up in price (and lose the free included WiFi), and that's where the build your own micro itx systems start to become the better option.

          Having said that, some people get sick of building stuff after a while, and the prebuilt nature of a NUC becomes quite valuable to them. (Or to people with no technical skills to start with)

        • +1

          You questioned why people would buy a small form factor and power efficient computer when they could buy a bigger and more power hungry computer, which defeats the whole purpose of the NUC. It's like saying "why buy a iPhone 6 when you could buy a iPhone 6 Plus?" - different purposes and wants/needs.

          I didn't downvote, but I'd say that is why others did. You basically said that this product is useless because you could buy something completely different instead.

        • -1

          @MrFunSocks: You make it sound like I suggested a massive box chewing 200W. The ISK110 by computer standards is already extremely small form factor - the NUC just takes it another, what I believe to be unnecessary given the sacrifices, step further.

        • +1

          @d3ft:
          I have a number of NUCs not just one, all stacked on top of one another.
          Next to that I have a hard drive stacker. With the bloody massive ISK110 I wouldn't have space for the hard drives.

  • +1

    I would be keen on not paying for the windows license I would never use, can the price be adjusted? As others have some - that saving could probably be put towards a pulse eight adapter for XBMC.

    I bought Intel NUC DN2820FYKH0 with 4G RAM 193 posted yesterday from shopping express.

    for anyone with spare HDD & OS

    • Still at this price?

    • I bought a 2820 NUC, 8GB ram and Intel 7260 AC Dual Band card from Shopping Express on Monday, prior to them having the sale where the unit price went from $158 to $199 (before discount)

  • Hey Rep, as others are also saying, what is your ask sans the OS? I want to run Linux on this machine.

  • Hey Rep,
    what would be the price of the kit + 4Gb?
    thanks

    Another vote for a non Win7 option here.
    Just NUC would be great.

    shopping express offers Gigabyte N2807 dual display for $129 FREE SHIPPING…

    • In my personal opinion I think the Gigabyte is a better option. I would be curious to know is the Intel NUC has a 2820 or a 2830 CPU.

    • +1

      Have a link? shows $209 for me

      • You need to enter today's promo code JOYFUL
        Promo code can be obtained by going to the site and clicking on the Xmas Daily Deals link.

        • Thanks! How would these compare to the cel NUC? I read it has quicksync, so may be useful for steam streaming. Almost worth a punt …

      • +1

        Use the coupon code "JOYFUL" to bring the price down to $129 delivered.

        • Doh! Sold out?

          "Sorry. We don't have enough 'GB-BXBT-2807' in stock to fulfill your order. Please change the qty on order in your shopping cart to a lower number and click update. Then try to checkout again."

  • I wonder if this would suit a hackintosh build…

  • There are posts online of people trying out Steam in home streaming through this box with varying degree of success, has anybody here tried it?

    • I stream steam through my gaming PC to my laptop without issue, I can't see how this would be any different (similar specs - lappy has 8gm RAM, the rest is similar.)

    • I'd say if just one person can confirm it works great, then hardware wise it should be fine.
      From what I've read, there seem to be varying degrees of success on any platform (my pi & ouya can't even connect, yet my laptop can stream using limelight as steam client fine)

    Need something around the 3000 benchmark for HD content from my experience

    Eg a q6600 - 7yr old cpu will still outperform

        Seconded. I stream 1080P content all the time, no problem.

    Just a footnote - recently (last week) purchased gigabyte brix j1900 and its much faster/responsive (quad core, double the cache) than the intel NUC and only marginally more expensive (having run proxmox KVM on both the NUC such as this, and the Brix)

    My only annoyance is single memory slot supported (8gb max) as I'd love to have 16gb on a quad core tiny server that sips power….

  • According to reviews on amazon it used only 8watts while watching HD video??!
