Had a great time with the NUC. Couldn't fault it. But the urge to play/tinker was too much and unfortunately, SWMBO dictates we only have 2 boxes at a time.
I can build plenty if they're not for me though! [go figure!]
So. I bought a 3rd generation i3 3220 a couple weeks back off eBay. Nope. It's not for this project. It went into my server [to help Plex with transcoding to a couple nowTV boxes I have at my parents and in-laws, works a treat!]. No, the chip the i3 replaced is going into this build.
Intel Pentium G620T.
Motherboard came today, but missed the postie. So you'll see that tomorrow, but the 4GB ram and the case has come.
Little bit bigger than the NUC. But I'll definitely call it NUC inspired!
Got an awesome part going in this that I [hope] I'm the first to have. You'll see it soon!
