I got one of these the day it came out. Yes its potentially more expensive than an Mini-ITX system. But it depends on your priorities. For me form factor, and power usage, were most important. This is my new setup: http://lloydsparkes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/CCapture-6.jpg http://lloydsparkes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/CCaptur... And for a development work station, with light gaming (I have an Xbox One for gaming) the performance is amazing!

Looks nice. +1 for the ergonomic keyboard, I'm looking to buy one myself. Just gotta get one in dvorak... Is that a standing desk?

I was interested in the same setup, curios how it performs for development and what kind of development you do (os, tools). Thanks

  It performs fine for development. I'm having some screen flickering issues at the moment (not 100% sure what) I'm C# Dev mostly at home, so VS2015 etc, also some linux VM's, mobile VM's, its pretty good

Given the size of those 2 monitors it doesn't really look like a smallee form factor would have been an issue?

  I'm thinking about doing a similar setup and I like the smaller form factor because I can attach it to the back of a monitor and not even have to look at it.

    Take a look at the Antec ISK-110. Not as small as the NUCs, but lets you build your own machine on the cheap, and still designed to be attached to the back of a monitor. (Won't fit a standalone GPU, but I don't think anything that can be attached to a monitor can)

  As its a standing desk I have, having everything on the desk makes life easier. Mini ITX would have taken up alot of deskroom. My old case (Antec P183) I had sitting on a side desk before hand
