Nuc nuc nuc

I picked up a 5th Generation Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing). Basically, a 4" x 4" x 1.5" PC with everything but Memory and SSD on board.

$318 for the NUC (5th Gen i5, dual core turbo)
$39 for 8GB of RAM (expandable to 16GB)
$88 for a 250GB M2 SSD drive
Old copy of Win7 Pro (sitting around!) which will upgrade to Win 10
So $445

The unit is set to go in my conference room for Skype, presentations, etc. The quad core Google Box isn't doing it and is annoying at times...

Anyone else using a NUC?
