The Intel NUCs are in a similar price range, especially once you take case, PSU, etc. into consideration. You can get them motherboard-only, but in the pre-built ones you just add RAM and Flash/HDD and you're done. The NUCs probably also win on overall power consumption, just check that you can use accelerated HD video decoding in the model you choose with the software you want to use.
- dwild 12y agoThere's Intel NUC cheap than 350$? Also case and PSU aren't a problem, either you get a Pico PSU for 50$ with a cheap case, or you take a case that include a PSU. They are cheap and the fan are noisy but for under $60... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154062 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154...
- pmjordan 12y agoThe RRP of the Intel NUC Kit DN2820FYKH is $128: http://ark.intel.com/products/78953/Intel-NUC-Kit-DN2820FYK?ui=BIG http://ark.intel.com/products/78953/Intel-NUC-Kit-DN2820FYK?... I believe that includes the Wifi/Bluetooth module already, but not the DDR3L RAM module or an SSD/HDD. If that model is missing something you need you can of course opt for one of the more expensive ones - there is a reasonable range. I'm considering getting one to act as a router, DD-WRT/OpenWRT on consumer/SOHO router hardware is incredibly fiddly. The power consumption of some of these devices is comparable.
