Runs great. My only comment is to pay attention to which hdmi port
you use - I ended up using port 2 instead of 1, and had to adjust
things within KDE to get it working right.
NUCS are not cheap :(
They range in price from 400+ to just under 600 smackers.

Maybe NUCs are not cheap, but it all depends on what bells and whistles
you buy with them.
One thing everyone agrees on, is: you can mount them a good deal less
obtrusively in a home-theater setup, /and/ they consume far less power.
I'm thinking of pairing one of them with an already-smart TV. That way,
I can have access to full Internet anytime I want to.
I'm also thinking of tying in an external optical drive--specifically a
DVD. (Linux does not do Blu-ray yet, more's the pity. Anyone have any
idea when that will happen?)
If I can somehow manage to get a fresh copy of the old libdvdcss
package, then maybe I can build a device that can act as a regionless
DVD player.
Living as I do in the USA, I have mostly Region 1 DVDs and Region A
Blu-rays. But I just happen to have a collection of an old 1980s TV
series from Australia--issued in Germany. That, of course, is in Region
2. Now I can get a regionless DVD and Blu-ray player, /or/ I can get a
NUC, equip it with an HDD and a DVD/CD player, install Fedora, and
somehow find my libdvdcss.rpm and libdvdcss2.rpm files, transfer them
over, and install them. (Anyone who can help me find a
no-longer-distributed package on one machine for transfer to another,
would be doing me a really big favor.) The second alternative would
likely cost the same amount of money--but would get me more bang for my
buck.
Though I do have one other alternative--maybe. A wild idea. Could I
disassemble this desktop, take the HDD, mount that in a NUC, and get an
external DVD to go with it?
Just gathering information.
