> so the NUC are being sold at obscene prices.... A question I keep asking is what happened to the cheap NUC's? This question has been bothering me since the $199 J1900 NUC disappeared years back and was never replaced by a comparative low power and low cost NUC. Instead we got $400+ i3/5/7 NUC's and some silly $1200 NUC with a skull on it for gaming. They were at one point cost effective but that suddenly stopped. Few weeks back I picked up an i5 NUC on sale for $300 from Newegg which is the lowest I've seen a quad core NUC in a long time (maybe I'm not looking hard enough). It's hooked to my TV and is just another desktop that also happens to play Hulu.
