    Intel's NUC (smaller than ITX) Socket 1155

    http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/2294#7 You could use Thunderbolt to external enclosure for real PCIe 4-port NIC (or 10GbE NIC). Sort of defeats the small enclosure purpose having to add another enclosure but it would work and still not be that big.

    Intel's NUC (smaller than ITX) Socket 1155

    Interested here as well ... a mobile i3 chip would make a great little power efficient ESXi box instead of my old Mac Mini 2.26GHz C2D running Fusion. What I want to see is internal PSU like the newer (than mine) Mac Mini ... it's the one thing I hate about my old Mac Mini is the external brick.

    Mac Mini or windows alternative for living room computer?

    You might find my thread interesting: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1708893 Basically the Mac Mini does it smaller, quieter and with less fuss (read: internal PSU) than any alternative I have found. My purpose is a little different to your's (VM server) but the outcome is the same...

    Any Mac Mini Alternative?

    At AU$1070.00 for barebones (no RAM, HDD or OS) I'd be better off with a MacMini Server with its 4GB of RAM, dual 500GB 7200rpm drives and quad core 2.0GHz processor for $1099.00. This might be a neat HTPC but that's not what I need.

    Any Mac Mini Alternative?

    Now that's more like it ... a serious competitor! Pricing in Australia for the board seems to be around the $155.00 mark, add in a decent low power quad (i5-3450S @ $225.00) and we're getting there. 16GB of SODIMM is going to be $110.00 (for 1333, 1600 is a bit hard to find in 8GB each) - $390...

    Any Mac Mini Alternative?

    Use: Needs to run at least 2 operating systems, W7Pro64 for remote access and a Mail Server (OS X Lion Server or SBS11, I have both), and maybe another like Ubuntu. It's for home use, mail server, torrent box, ATV conversion and remote access. Massive storage not required as I have a NAS...

    Best cooler to fit ISK-300

    Want the quietest decent cooler to fit into the ISK-300 case. Going to be running running an i5-2500S (2.5GHz, 65w) and I don't want to hear it. I'll also be replacing the case fan with 1 or 2 of the Noctua 80mm fans (already have them from another build). It's basically going to be a VM...

    Alienware 120hz AW2310 or Dell U2312HM

    I've been putting up with the coating on the 2209WA so it's not really that much of an issue. In Australia i've been unable to find the ASUS without the glasses ... it's AU$475 with them ... and the AW2310 can be had for AU$400 delivered from Dell using a motoring club discount (RACV, 15%)...

    Alienware 120hz AW2310 or Dell U2312HM

    So hard to choose between these 2 screens ... basically want to replace my 2209WA with one of the above. Going to be used for FPS gaming ... CoD:MW, CoD:WaW, BF3, MW3 The AW with 120hz is meant to be better but the cost of the U2312HM (half of the AW2310) and virtually non-existent Input Lag...

    EVGA X79 Classified

    I'd like to see it in the flesh but at least it gives hope to EVGA doing one :p With most of them being E-ATX and having so much on it I was worried that mATX wasn't looking good.

    EVGA X79 Classified

    Great to see that EVGA won't miss the boat on this one like the last few ... Probably don't need this board but will be interested in the SLI or FTW but will need it to be standard ATX size as I'm planning on putting it in the new SOLO II case. I don't see any mention of a Micro version (from...

    New or Upgrade - LGA2011, i7-980, i7-2600K
