just got this "ALTERNATIVE NUC....SOUND PROOF" 4 days ago:
* MS-Tech CI-70 (including, PicoPSU 120W)
* ASRock Q1900B (Quad-Celeron 2ghs-2,5ghz/MiniITX) (Q1900B-ITX)
Can we please stop calling everything that's miniature a NUC alternative? The NUC is A LOT smaller than the mini-itx motherboard used here http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Q1900B-ITX/
Comparing the two form factors is like comparing ATX to mATX.
NUC (UCFF): 10.16 × 10.16 cm(4 × 4 inches)
Mini-ITX: 17 × 17 cm (6.7 × 6.7 in)
Not to mention the NUC doesn't need anything but memory and an HDD/SSD, it's a much more elegant and clean solution. It's very misleading for people who are actually considering a NUC, which are very highly recommended for people who aren't interested in building a traditional HTPC box.
