Yeah Jason, i must have missed the wording within the begining of your video, sorry
Like you, i like the look of the NUC and would also place it on/in the TV cabinet when/if i get one.
That's why i've never worried about hanging one off the back of a TV screen
And since i would have it on/in the TV cabinet, i never needed a NUC to be as small as it is currently.
Ideally, Intel should consider selling a physically bigger NUC (passively cooled) which i suspect would sell well and gather a following, possibly more so if they took the stackable idea and ran with it.
(and this would be more the case if Intel priced their NUCs a little more reasonably as one can get a similarly powered laptop at a cheaper price)
(and remember that a laptop comes with HDD, WiFi, RAM, screen, keyboard and a UPS - but thats a completely different topic)
(maybe that's just the downside of the region i'm living in - and that's yet another topic)
Anyway a bigger NUC solution is something i'd like to see from Intel itself.
But you'd know more than me whether there is hope for an internal skunks project to 'repackage' the NUC, create stackables and show it off to management.
And if Intel then ran with it, i wouldn't have to mess with cases either
From a non Intel perspective, stackables with optimised cabling (short with right angle connectors at each end) would still be good to see for the current NUC and yes this would minimise the rear cable clutter.
Such stakables with short flat cables are reminisant of some Sony mini sound systems of the 80's (giving away too much here
) and this would likely please many NUC fans.
With another set of optimized cables that allow side by side placement, you would provide for people like me that aren't fans of the heady look when a few stackables are used
Either way, like many i would prefer an x86 solution to an arm base solution like EzeeCude.
But who knows, i may change my mind once i see/hear EzeeCube in action...
I guess the question that now pops to mind is how much power can the base NUC provide to each stakable?
What sort of upper limit does this provide without needing separate stackable power bricks?
Does the current NUC even have a charging USB port (capable of 2A)?
You may fully convert me yet
