Hi Protax,

Your proposed setup looks good, it's quite similar to the one I've been playing with since last weekend.
There are a couple of things you should consider:

1.Make sure the memory is Low Voltage DDR (1.35v DDR3L).
2. Instead of a MiniDisplayPort - HDMI adapter you can use a cheaper MiniHDMI - HDMI Cable.
3. The NUC does not "speak" CEC out of the box. However, it does have a Custom Solution Header so you could install the Internal HDMI-CEC Adapter from Pulse-Eight (24 euro).

As for it running well with Openelec, yes it does, but for now not right out of the box with the release version, there are still some minor issues with the internal IR receiver and Black/Color rendering. These have all been solved with workarounds (see 3-4 posts above yours) and I expect them to be integrated into the release version pretty soon.

Hello,

I'm thinking to order a NUC, but I still don't know what I should buy exactly.
I life in the Netherlands, and the prices are bit different that in the US.
My thoughts about what I need to order:

Intel NUC Kit D34010WYK +/- 270 euro
Kingston SSDNow mS200 SMS200S3/30G, 30GB SSD +/- 45 euro
Corsair 4 GB DDR3-1600-11 COR, memory +/- 40 euro

And I also need a Mini HDMI to HDMI converter, something like?

Club 3D Adapter Mini-DisplayPort > HDMI +/- 22 euro

Should this system run OpenELEC/XBMC well?

Remote = iPhone/iPad & Samsung Remote CEC
Storage = Synology NAS

First I was looking building my own HTPC, but after reading this topic my thoughts changed... NUC seems the right (2013) way

Hopefully somebody can advice me what I should buy

Best regards,
DX
