Dabs. Search 'Wilson Canyon i3 nuc' in Google and it's the first result.

I sold my NUC i3 (3217U) as a barebone (kept RAM, SSD etc.). Now I'm confused regarding the RAM in the new Haswell i3. Will the "old" still be suitable?
Haswell Nuc i5 - Abel H2 case - 8GB RAM (Crucial) - Samsung 830 128GB SSD - Win 8.1 - XBMC 13 Beta 1 - Aeon MQ 5 - Harmony 600
Dreambox 7020HD - Sundtek DVB-S2 + C

Officially Intel state 1.35v only, but a lot of (well, certainly Crucial) RAM seems to be rated 1.35/1.5v. Others say running 1.5v in a 1.35v slot can be ok but also can lead to stability issues or run a bit hot.
When it comes to ram, especially considering how cheap it is, stability is king. Get something you can confirm at least rates it to do 1.35v if you can.

Thanks for all of the info, the part that Camlann provided is probably what I will get ($25 USD from Amazon with free shipping). 4GB is probably overkill for OE anyway so I could always just put 2GB in initially and add a 2nd DIMM later if I wanted to run Windows instead of Linux.

Does the intell NUC need a mSATA SSD or It can run XBMC from a USB 3.0 pendrive wihtout a hard drive?
I've seen in a box some strange specs that said it needs a mSATA hard drive.
