## Description

Boxed Next Unit of Computing Kit DC3217BY TBT HDMI Single

Review: Wow. Forget a full-size PC or laptop, this is the PC for you - My setup is as follows: NUC 4GB Crucial 1333 DDR3 SODIMM (1 stick) 120 GB Crucial SSD What you need: Wifi card - get one of the suggested ones - I am sure I saw a $10 dual-band wireless-n from Intel for the NUC. Wireless keyboard with touchpad (already had). All told, this box cost us a total of about $320. I had a USB network (ethernet) adapter lying around, so that didn't cost me anything extra. I would probably get a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter, if I didn't have the other one lying around. In fact, I might get one anyway, since the throughput would be much fast than USB and I'll never use the Thunderbolt (mini display port) port for anything else, anyway. Really impressed with Intel's design. And let's talk about that. Right now I am watching recorded TV via XBMC (.wtv files) - using a USB-ethernet adapter, streaming 1080p. No hitches, no wacky audio sync. Perfect playback. I am not sure I would use one of these to replace a Windows-based HTPC, but you could certainly set it up that way. Couldn't get at the performance with Windows 7, but may give it a try, just to see. With Win7 professional, you're adding another $150 to the price tag, though. Installed Kubuntu without a problem and it runs fast - very snappy performance. And this is a very small box. My wife actually wanted to confirm that the little red square was what was running our home theatre at the time. The ports are easy access and no frills. memory and mSATA SSD pop in easily. The bottom cover comes off without any issues. If you have a few extra dollars, set this up with Kubuntu, Steam and XBMC and you have a great, cheap Xbox 360 replacement that still functions as a complete computer. I really can't say enough positive things about this product - really worth the minor extra effort to pop in memory, wifi and SSD and install your own OS. Powerful elegant and small. Make sure you have a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, or wireless keyboard with touchpad.
Review: Suprisingly good. - Installed an Intel 72xx series ac/Bluetooth wireless adapter (Works in Windows 7 and 8.x) and a stick of 1600MHz memory and the thing comes up. Added a 128GB mSSD I had around and the thing is unusually fast. Using it with one of those Logitech keyboard/glide-point wireless keyboards with the nano adapter. No problem. Thundebolt/DP port works with HDMI adapter. Plays 4K video at 1080p with no problem. No native 4K, though. Windows Server 2012 R2 installed as a DC but the intel 72xx NIC does not work. Switched to a Raitek I had. Problem solved. Too bad it doesn't support GBE or USB 3.0. Quiet but get a little warm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive once you buy everything, impresses with it's size
*by M***L on December 14, 2013*

So I bought this and love it. I got it sale, but it was over $500 to complete. Having the ram, wireless, cord, and windows copy lying around, made it worth it. But you need: windows ($100+), ram (4GB $40), wireless ($20ish), msata ssd ($100 for 128gb), and a "mickey mouse" style power cord ($5). (it comes with the ac adapter but not the cord that goes from the ac adapter to the wall) So if you need all this, add $300 to what you paid for this! There are overheating complaints. Intel released firmwares to try and fix this and finally updated the product. The newer versions have a rubbery heat drawing block under the ssd. The cpu doesn't overheat, but the ssd stacked on the wireless causes the ssd to overheat. The airflow is on the opposite side of the motherboard so there is no airflow to draw heat from the ssd. If you did not get the rubbery heat block, you can get it for free from Intel. I just ordered it in November 2013 and didn't get the heat blocks. Intel sent them to me very quickly and I haven't had issues yet. I never tried it without the heat blocks. This is a great tv box or mini-desktop. If there was a 2.5 slot and usb3, it would be perfect. There are other NUC versions closer to perfect, and there's a slower cpu one coming with a 2.5 slot, but the low price of this version made it right for me. So I love the size--just an handful, even smaller than I thought. I love using it with my tv for streaming from the internet and from my Synology. It works. The two year Intel warranty seems nice--I just hope I don't need it!
