Last night I tried booting up my i3 Haswell NUC with the USB stick I've been running Openelec off of on the DN2820. On the DN2820 everything works great except Bluetooth. The IR works without me having to do anything.
When I booted up the i3 the IR didn't work at all. I ran out of time but I'll try some of the known fixes this weekend to see what I get.

It's a well known problem with the nuc.
I tried 4 different USB 3.0 sticks and a USB 3.0 cardreader and none worked properly.
Either you were lucky or it has something to do with your stick!
Haswell Nuc i5 - Abel H2 case - 8GB RAM (Crucial) - Samsung 830 128GB SSD - Win 8.1 - XBMC 13 Beta 1 - Aeon MQ 5 - Harmony 600

Is there any disadvantage to enabling Secureboot on the NUC?
Edit: Besides not being able to install unauthorized OS when it's enabled.

Anyone know the difference in power consumption btw baytrail Celeron nuc, i3 haswell, and i5 haswell.
Is there a big difference between them?

OMG, I just spent a ton of money on a D34010WYKH2 loaded with memory, SSD, HDD and a WIFI card to replace my old HTPC and the NUC's HDMI output is HORRIBLE - everything is washed out and the blacks are more like grays. My previous HTPC with a crappy nVidia GT520 was absolutely flawless.
I googled and found out that some people had this problem with various Linuxes running on it but I am using Windows 8.1. Is there something I can do to fix this or should I try to return it? Is Gigabyte BRIX any better?

Tried using the displayport to see if it has the same issues?
Edit: If you right click the Intel HD graphics icon in the tray, you'll see there are a few profiles. Could always try a few of those.

The color range is set to full, changing it to limited or auto washes the colors out more but the blacks are still gray. On the nVidia system there is no special setting on the control panel, everything is just out of the box.
Might be my old Sony TV that has the problem. Gonna go check on a friend's TV and keep you posted.
