Item Wanted: Any NUC that would be capable of being used as a media center
Packaging Essential: Nope
Desired Age: Any (as long as it doesnt look like it fell off a truck)
Location: Roodepoort
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes
Ballpark/Budget Amount: PM me?

So I want to change some things around, and convert my current media pc (oversized case) into something with a smaller footprint. Currently I have a spare 120gb SSD, but I understand these things sometime need M.2 drives? Anyway. What I know about NUC's can fill a matchbox. All I want is one capable of playing media off a browser/ external (and use the DAC I prefer).


TL;DR
Need mini media pc that can run windows and have 3 USB ports (y)

Haven't finished migrating from my old NUC onto my new one, unfortunately, otherwise I could've helped you out. If you haven't managed by next week, ping me and I can help you out with one for not much money. Not a super powerful version but it's been doing the job of hosting Plex (no transcoding though) and running downloads and whatnot, for a while.
They're super nifty devices.
 
All depend on what ones one buy, you get slim ones that only accommodate singe drive can be msata/m.2 and the bigger ones than have space for a 2.5 drive.

Have one I been using during lock down that's hasn't been used in some time as I needed more real-estate 4monitors so using my main pc for work at home.

All the nucs that I have had are more then capable of playing any movies from websites and local games excluding you he atom ones that tend to struggle with higher quality.

I ran plex on an I3 with unifi, Mfi and vivotek recording 2 cams and could still play a 12gb movie on it with ease.
