I just purchased (will be delivered within 5 days) bought in UK
NUC Kit D54250WYK (BOXD54250WYK)
8GB (2x4GB) Ballistix Sport DDR3 SO-DIMM 1600MHz PC3-12800 CL9 1.35v
Crucial M500 120GB mSATA Internal SSD with MU03 Firmware (haswell fix)
The ram is excessive for HTPC, however for the dual boot OS as I will require a second work machine for Architecture 3D render and node rendering etc.
On the XBMC side will be Linux (bare no Desktop no window managers) + XBMC with some MCE remote.
Main HTPC is still a ION gen 1 dual core and this NUC will have a lot to live up to, that's sure, Cost wise its around same I paid back when for the Asrock ION 330HT.

Its only "as expensive" because it is not an HTPC. It is a CAD workstation which is so small that you can use it as an HTPC .
