Sorry if its been asked but you can't search for NUC as its only three letters

Anyway as post says I want a basic NUC to run just XBMC with no pvr or disc drive
Must do 24p, only a small SDD as everything saved to NAS.
Keeping cost down is main objective. Plus is there a seller doing an all in one package?

Am currently running an old 'huge' HTPC with Openelec and find it fine. Just have another use for it. Also a raspbmc which apart from being sluggish compared to the HTPC does all I need.
Current HTPC seems like overkill so basically want a fast RPi


Thanks

NUC (fanless opt.)

If I am right then the celerons won't do 24p and the cheaper i3's don't have a LAN ? What idiot designed that one?
Looks like it is an expensive way to go to get something better than a RPi?
Maybe itx is cheaper

If by 24p you're referring to perfect 23.976Hz playback, you need a Haswell integrated GPU to get that "feature" which none of the "cheap" NUCs has.

24p is apparently accurate on the Bay Trail NUC

[Dougie Fresh]

That's surprising given the Ivy Bridge integrated GPU

They haven't made a new architecture for Bay Trail, but they apparently have fixed the bug.

That's great news. Maybe it'll be fixed in Bay Trail-D motherboards (should they be more than vaporware).
