    Is there a model in particular which you could recommend? If so, do you know anything about Linux support for that device?

    This was suggested earlier, and the problem is that it doesn't support dual 1440p monitors, as can be seen in 1.5.1.5 of the technical specifications: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/25507/eng/NUC6i5SYB_NUC6i3SYB_TechProdSpec01.pdf You have to daisy chain, but my monitors don't support daisy...

    As far as I can tell, they're going to be available sometime in Q2. The teaser from CES 2016 was that we'd get details at GDC in mid-March. I can certainly wait until then, it's just a bit of a tease :)

    The main problem with that is that, as the lore in the theoretical physics community goes, Mathematica runs very poorly on AMD processors. But I did consider this option.

    In case anyone is curious, the basic problem with the NUC's onboard video is that although the HDMI 1.4 specification is generally able to handle 1440p monitors at 60Hz, Intel for some reason intentionally limits the resolution that the onboard video can output when two displays are connected...

    Honestly, I'm just extremely confused about what is possible with various ports now that I've found out that the NUC just can't support dual 1440p monitors at 60Hz without daisy chaining even though each port individually can handle one 1440p at 60Hz. Those options you mention do look...

    Sorry for the double post, but there's a problem. I was doing my due diligence and checked the tech specs just to be sure that the NUC supports my resolution: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/25507/eng/NUC6i5SYB_NUC6i3SYB_TechProdSpec01.pdf If you look at section 1.5.1.5, you can't actually run...

    First of all, I think I'm talking myself into the NUC, just because I've been stringing along with a piece of crap for a couple years now, and the NUC6i5SYK is certainly much better than what I have. I think my reluctance was just irrational gear lust for the quad-core i7 even though it...

    That case looks an awful lot like the Antec ISK-110. I think it should be relatively straightforward to replace the 90W picoPSU in that unit with a more powerful one - then I can get the front panel and have an enclosure which is just as small. I kind of like this idea because then I can have...

    Thanks for the recommendations everyone. The NUCs were indeed on my radar, I was just afraid that the processors would be too weak to drive the monitors, but illram's experience with a 4k display puts me at ease. As for Mathematica, that's something that people actually do serious...

    Hi everyone, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this - new to this site and not sure exactly where everything goes. I'm a theoretical physics grad student in a small office with limited space. I need a compact machine due to these space constraints (mini-ITX), and I would like it to be...
