Pulled the trigger and bought the i3 (red and black version with thunderbolt ) with 64gb msata and the intel wifi card.
Sitting and reading up, and what i understand in the beginning there where problem with overheating. Is this fixed now?
Also a lot of the heating issues where caused by the intel msata 525 that where faulty.
But anyway, with al the new bios upgrades etc, is overheating still an issue on these?

The only update regarding the DC3217BY has no relation to the heat issues;

I've bought one myself, couldn't resist the €140,- offer for the i3 version
Put a Plextor M5M 128GB SSD in it and 2x 2GB memory and it goes like de brandweer
I've played a bit with the fan settings and when setting the target-temp below 65 °C, the fan can be heard and the sounds keeps variating so its more conspicuous.
When setting it to 67-70 °C the NUC is silent enough that it doesn't stand out.
All and all it is a very nice item, that still has the same faults it has when it hit the market (no standard LAN, to few USB ports and no USB3, no other audio-out then by HDMI, and so on...), but with the selling price it has now, I can life with that
Have installed Windows 7, MediaPortal, XBMC and of-course TMT(5) on it, so it can play Real 3D BR ISO's and rip's.
