    good price!

    what's the deal with the power supply though, do we need more than something like this:

      These NUCs don't normally come with power cords for their adaptors, so you'll need something like this:

        that looks very neat, thank you

      • KKraig on 17/12/2015 - 13:25

        Says right there in the specs: 19V, 65 W wall mount AC-DC Power Adapter

        Picture of the back of the unit has a pin type plug too, nothing like the cord you linked to

        • Make it so on 17/12/2015 - 13:48
          +3

          The adapter (provided) has a pin on one side which plugs into the NUC. The other side of the adapter has the mains power cord, which is the typical "Mickey Mouse" connector used by laptop chargers. The cable @eug linked to is therefore compatible. But better to check whether someone else (your employer?) has one lying around from an old laptop that has been decommissioned to save the money and delay.

      • pw2002au on 17/12/2015 - 13:49

        My one from cough cough Kogan did (exact same model) … I'd say this one would but you may need a US to AU plug at most.

        By the time you add RAM, M.2 SSD and winblows its not all that cheap though. Makes a great steam streaming machine and xbox one streamer though.

          By the time you add RAM, M.2 SSD and winblows its not all that cheap though.

          You could use the components from your old NUC and use this as an upgrade. Then sell the old NUC on ebay for a ridiculously high price and people would still buy it !!

          @easternculture: In my experience it can be cheaper to build a Micro ITX system from parts. But I expect an NUC is quieter.

        • maybe a bot on 17/12/2015 - 14:49

          @Make it so: This. I built a really cheap ITX home server with an old SATA HDD I had lying around, 4GB of RAM from a laptop that I upgraded and it runs Windows and Plex fine :)

          Edit: $50 or so w/o a case, $100 w/ one

        • Clivey In Space on 18/12/2015 - 10:07

          @Droidyy: Isn't the other plus factor (I know it was for me) was the low power consumption of the NUC. What at the ITX like?

          @misa: Well, it's Atom based and consumes around 1-2W at idle, 5-6 under load and using the HDDs

      Never used/owned one but from this review looks like comes with adapters Intel NUC5i5RYK Mini PC Review

      There is an external power pack that looks more like a large phone charger (with wall adapters for different countries)

    • Mumbles on 17/12/2015 - 13:51

      I found a picture on eBay of someone elses with all the international plugs:

        The Haswell NUCs don't need this cable, nvox and Mumbles are correct, they come with what looks like an oversized phone charger with all the international plugs, I own the i3 version

        • eug on 17/12/2015 - 14:47

    • Bob81 on 17/12/2015 - 21:58

      You can buy the appropriate (C5 power cable) for your NUC from eBay for $7 inc postage from Australia or about half that from Hong-Kong.

        As mentioned above, the new NUC PSUs plug straight into the wall like the Celeron NUCs.
        They come with a selection of plugtops so nothing extra is needed.

        This model has Wifi (Intel Wireless-AC 7265) and Bluetooth. The inclusions are listed in the OP

        Once again, the Haswell NUCs include a wifi card

        • happychappy1 on 17/12/2015 - 15:59

          This is Broadwell.

        • aim54x on 17/12/2015 - 23:57

          @happychappy1: yes you are correct 14nm process = Broadwell… I'm still stuck in the Haswell Refresh = 5XXX processor numbers….. To many code names

  • Dream-cast on 17/12/2015 - 13:56

    Would this suitable as a microserver for nas purposes like a hp gen 8?

    • Hellman109 on 17/12/2015 - 14:35

      No internal storage, no expansion, so basically no it wouldnt be suitable. However it probably is faster on the CPU side, but any storage will be slower/smaller.

      • Phatc69 on 17/12/2015 - 17:43

        Depending on the OS you could iscsi via a NAS if you have one??
        I think you can run VMware on these?? at least windows 10 with hyperV….

        • Hellman109 on 17/12/2015 - 22:37

          So attach a NAS to your NAS? He wants it to be a NAS, not attach a NAS to it.

    Most of the newer versions come with a wall-wart type power pack, that has multiple interchangeable plus, including the correct ones for Australia.

        Thanks. I'm sitting here pondering if I should order one with a 950 Pro. If it wasn't for Xmas, I probably would have ordered by now.

    Out of curiosity, what would you guys use one of these for?
    Can it be used as a home pc, or more like a server or HTPC?

    • icheema on 17/12/2015 - 14:32
      +2

      HTPC.

      I use the first generation i3 as an exsi host with 16Gig of RAM. esxi 5.1 to be precised. Works well.

    • fantombloo on 17/12/2015 - 15:30

      I use it as a home PC. We don't use it for gaming so can't comment there but I use it for 3d modeling and it goes just fine.

      We also take it (with wireless keyboard and mouse) with us on holidays; plug it into the hdmi on the telly wherever we are staying and you have the same home PC experience away from home - and more compact to carry than a laptop.

    • sween64 on 17/12/2015 - 15:40

      I use my i5 5250U as an HTPC (running Kodi) and for Steam (either streaming or playing locally depending on the game). Couple with a Logitech Harmony remote it's great. I also have two 5TB external HDDs connected for storage.

  • Sammyboy on 17/12/2015 - 14:23

    The same thing (I think) with added support for a 2.5" drive is also on sale for $295 USD (+ shipping):

    • Manusdei on 17/12/2015 - 15:10

      Yep, same model with support for an internal 2.5" HDD, worth noting though that this is currently out of stock, ETA 19th Dec.

  • PeppaCat on 17/12/2015 - 15:17

    Please be aware that intel has already released the skylake NUC, which is more powerful, and has a buildin SD card reader!
    I'd like to wait for the 6th NUC.

    • kml22 on 17/12/2015 - 15:25

      When can i buy the skylake NUC?

      • PeppaCat on 17/12/2015 - 15:28

        Some EU website is selling them now. I believe that Amazon will start selling them in 1 month.

    • sween64 on 17/12/2015 - 15:42

      I wouldn't use the SD card reader. However I could see it being handy for those that use the NUC as a desktop PC.

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 17/12/2015 - 16:02

    Not point buying an NUC now which only does 4K @ 30fps. Might as well just buy the Nvidia Sheild TV instead or wait for Skylake with HDMI 2.0.

    • Manusdei on 17/12/2015 - 16:27

      Skylake NUC is still going to have HDMI 1.4b from all the specs I've seen.

    • darian on 18/12/2015 - 00:38

      It will do 4k60p via Displayport I believe, but the problem is finding a monitor/TV with Displayport input.

      HDMI is proving to be less interested in flexible functionality for the consumer and more about money grubbing protectionism: the sooner it gets ousted for Displayport the better.

      • MadMaxBargainRoad on 18/12/2015 - 09:29

        I don't think broadwell does HEVC at 60fps anyway.

        DP is definitely ahead in terms of development but the adoption rate on TV is just pathetic.

  • ob123 on 17/12/2015 - 16:17

    Thanks OP must be lowest price ever for the RYK.
    Was so close to buying it for US$290 last night.

  • danielh on 17/12/2015 - 16:38

    It should also be noted that it is NOT the one which allows an SSD drive as well as the M.2 SSD.

    That is the NUC5i5RYH. I almost got one until I checked the picture and stats again.

    It is also on a similar large % off sale at Amazon:

    Great little devices these.

    A word of warning if you were planning on installing windows 7, all the USB ports are 3.0. As windows 7 doesn't have the neccessary drivers, you will need to create your own install image and manually inject the drivers.

  • fatbelly on 18/12/2015 - 17:15

    Did I miss this special,, site shows US$289.99 and 11.33 shipping??? That's over AU$400… deal might be gone!

    • daft009 on 19/12/2015 - 06:38

      gaah, looks like it, was hoping to purchase this morning :(

  • Manusdei on 21/12/2015 - 12:45

    Look like the price on the RYK version has gone back up to $289.99 USD, but the RYH (2.5" HDD support) version is still at $294.99 USD, which seems to be the all time low for this version.
