Seen it for just under £300 too. Pre-order. Not too shabby. Looks like with the ram and drive it'll end up being around £450. Not too bad at all.

Likely to be more powerful and more compact than the haswell Mac minis that will come out shortly. And probably about £100 cheaper all in.

I'm hoping to run it as a server too - with a usb3 storage drive. The price of the new NUC will sway me or an HTPC/server build around the Silverstone Ml03 case.

USA prices seem to show around $360... Will we be expecting a simar price just exchanging the $ for £?

Unfortunately I don't have the cash upfront so second hand isn't an option :( I've been looking at the Intel NUC systems, there seems to be a bit of interest around the new one due out soon.

Hi all, I've been out of the computer building gig for the best part of 6 years now, really haven't kept up with what's going on... I turned my old 2007 macbook pro into a media server and plex machine in the living room plugged into the TV... It's finally died :( What I liked about it...

Cool, thanks for all the links guys :) Even though it's going into an enclosure, it'll likely be on all the time (or at least for 15 hours a day, every day) so it seems that the red drive is the one to get over the Green. I don't see any obvious drawbacks to using these over the Greens as...

What actually is it about them that makes them more reliable? Looking at getting a single drive for an eSATA enclosure but not sure if the benefit is there as they're continuously pimped for NAS/RAID usage.

Hi All, Running my old laptop as an HTPC/Media server combo and am looking to add some additional storage. I have a selection of drives, and will be upgrading those over time to larger capacity but until I do I'd like to use what I have. There are a few IcyBox units that take 4 drives...

any good ones for under £100 that will take 3 drives? I can buy a 3Tb drive for about that, and then my current dock would suffice. Wazza, just bought another dock - can get dual drive ones for £15 in the same style as the one I currently have. It's not pretty but it's the cheapest way of...

Hi All, I have 3 SATA 1Tb drives, ranging in age from 2007 to 2009. I am pretty sure that a single 3Tb drive bought today would be far more reliable and much easier to deal with. I don't have a desktop machine, just a laptop now (macbook pro) and currently I have these sat loose and I...

Sweet, done deal! Ta muchly :D

Is it just distance, or also strength? I have 3 structural walls (that appear to be filled with lead) between my current router (D-link DIR-615 that came with VM) and the bedroom and I rarely get wireless signal in there. I'm looking to set up a small home server too, will the N56 perform...

^^ I'm off to see Evil Scarecrow on Monday on the HMS HAMMER before going to the Golden Gods awards :D

What are the microservers like to use? I've used the IcyBox NAS units and the Synology NAS units, they're a piece of cake and don't really need much setting up in the grand scheme of things. How much server knowledge would I need to be able to use a microserver? It seems that the extra...

They've been pestering me with letters since the start of feb at my current address, and I'm getting forwarded letters from my old address still where I was for a year. Nobody turned up to inspect the place.

How easy is it for a (near)complete network novice to work with dd-wrt?

purchased the blue, muchos more storage space :D Especially going from the 120GB that's currently in this macbook pro!

The HDD in my macbook is starting to make grinding noises when the laptop is sitting on the table - when held at an angle it seems to stop which is making me think that it's on the way out. I'm going to buy a new one tonight, and think I know the one I'm after. The WD Scorpio Black 320GB...

Another bump for this thread... They're playing on thursday night at Dublin Castle in camden, should be a good one! Also they're in the national finals for Live & Unsigned :D
