I don't understand the point of leaving it on unless you don't have a remote. It boots in like 6 seconds. Using windows 8.1, you can do regedit tricks to make the sleep function on your remote (and or keyboard) shut down instead.

Because some of us run central servers and leaving the NUC on keeps the hard drives from sleeping.

I do love how ignorant people are and just assume that if it works how they want it to, it should be fine for everyone else.

Also, if you shut it down, it loses your spot in tv seasons and you have to go back and scroll through all the seasons to get to the right one, pretty annoying for shows with lots of seasons/episodes.
