From reading all posts in XBMC.org I can only see the NUC from US perspective, this is some love to the UK
For people that live in the UK this is a price list of the cheapest NUC I can find
Intel BOXDCCP847DYE Desktop PC - (Celeron 847,QS77, DDR3,USB 2.0, 2x HDMI, Windows 8) - £138.28
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BOXDCCP847...=intel+nuc
Samsung 2GB Kit (2 x 1GB) DDR3 1066Mhz PC3-8500 Laptop Memory - £4.99
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-2GB-Ki...19c9adb5aa
Kingspec 32GB mSATA SATA Mini PCle (KSD-m.SATA.5-032MJ) SSD Solid State Drive CE - £24.99
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kingspec-32GB-...2c66c0de81
MELE F10 USB 2.4G Wireless Remote Control Fly Air Mouse Keyboard Android TV Box - £18.98
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MELE-F10-USB-2...2a2fd8763e
TOTAL £187.24
Considering if you brought the Ouya and didn't like the remote and decided to get the Mele f10 remote that would cost you
£100+£18.98=£118.98
So for an extra £68.26 you get
** 2GB Ram as apposed to 1GB Ram (upgradable to 16 GB / no upgrade to Ouya) x2
** 32 GB mSata as apposed to 8 GB emmc (4 times(mSata I believe is much faster than eMMC) x4
** Five USB 2.0 ports vs 1 USB 2.0 and 1 micro USB 2.0 (x2.5)
** Dual-HDMI ports supporting HDMI 1.4a output vs Single HDMI 1.4 x2
** Eight-channel (7.1) digital audio via one HDMI 1.4a output vs HDMI (5.1) digital audio
** Gigabit (10/100/1000) Lan vs 10/100 Lan
** 1 x Mini-PCIe mSATA (future upgrades) vs no upgrades
** another 1 x Mini-PCIe ( so you got one full size and one half size) the other can be used for wireless module, so it can be hidden instead of a USB dongle
** Openelec on x86 vs xbmc for android (infinte less frustation compared to well you know)
** and last but most important the hardware in the NUC is a lot more powerful.
I'm not sure how much better performance the NUC will have but I'm guessing alot
for an extra £68.26
NUC should have its own section it looks pretty awesome man
The extra 68.26 will be well spent considering this system can last you for 5 good years with incremental upgrades
check out the amazing performace (has only 1 ram as apposed to the price of two)
