mini PC's
Anyone know anything much about mini pc's?
pondering on getting one to use as a media center and come across the likes of this, |
Why not DIY with a raspberry pi?
|
not really looked into them tbh, also prob loose patience hahaha
|
Looked into it, its a PITA from what i can tell. Micro pc's using windows are easy to use, setup etc because they are based on windows. RPI needs to be setup then expanded etc
|
Minix are ok, so long as small disk and 4GB RAM are enough for the intended use.

Had quite a few Gigabyte Brix over the years - they tend to be full on i5 / i7 pc's though so might be out of your budget.
They are very good - although a bit noisy when on 100% CPU |

If you just want it for a media centre buy an Android box say an Octacore one with about 4gig ram?

Have you seen this at eBuyer for less than a ton?
Not a lot of memory (or internal disk), but it did tempt me! mb |

I bought a NUC from quiet pc . It has I5 intel processor twin hard drives Bluetooth, HDMI and 4 usb sockets. It's very fast quiet. I had problems with stability at first, this was down to poor design bios which intel released an updated version. Since then it's been perfect. I use it for my online cycle training, Zwift, Trainer Road, Bkool, BigRingVR etc. All these simulators work fine. Dimensions 100*100*50mm
