Since the old days of MCE in a desktop, I yearned for a small PC for the lounge room.
Bought a i3 Haswell NUC and tried to boot OPenElec on a USB key. No go.
Then installed Ubuntu to a 60 g mSata HDD - intending to add XBMC - but again the NUC failed to boot up.
Installed W7 to the mSata HDD and it boots up OK. I have not installed a wireless card.
But
[1] I have NEVER been able to access F2 Setup
[2] the NUC does not recognize that a Cat5 cable is connected.
Any thoughts ?
TIA
