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.
.......and why dó you Care?
This is a Bay trail tread on motherboard, hence, for builders. And we are in my case discussing a case where you Mount motherboard, Then ram, and ssd. It is so easyjet and close to the NUCs and defacto then an alternative. So what Else to Call it? Secondly, by calling what it is, eg. NUCs alternative, Then People's hopefull nget the idea it is an alternative and have the coice of getting a bang for there money, Eg, better value.
