Finally spent the cash and got a i5 Nuc with 120gb mstata intel and 8gb Kingston ram

I will confirm some stuff for people again.

Everything working once new drivers installed HD audio shows up only when newest graphics driver was installed. Only 1-5 dropped frames on average, I think its working good ( I have no idea how this works really)
Wake-On Lan working from S4 not S5 because of stupid Windows 8.1 should have stayed with Server 2012. But will try hibernate never used it before.
Menu's and boot are fast
USB 3.0 copying between passports managed 80mb transfers and over network only 40mb? mite have to debug my network on that end.
Rapid start driver would not install says system requirements not met? Have turned on option on in BIOS? and I have a mstata drive do I need a 2.5 SSD for this?
Been getting some hot days in Australia but on a average day Nuc's temp in bios is always 60c little hot for my liking will have to see if you can boost fan as I can barely hear it.

Also Anyone be able to help a noob with setting up the CIR remote. I have drivers installed and 2 remotes my Yamaha receiver and Epson Projector remote, can I use those? Or do I need a HTPC remote?

If anyone needs anything confirmed under Windows 8.1 I will within means try to test and help.
