There are reviews (with photos, power consumption, performance measures etc.) :
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6444/intels-next-unit-of-computing-hands-on and here http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-NUC-Next-Unit-Computing-DC3217BY-SFF-System-Review and Intel's information, including this: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/next-unit-computing-introduction.html If you buy one, make sure you have the various component pieces on hand - including the "other half" of the power adapter! These all add to the price of working package. I bought mine from NewEgg (but the review mentioned is not mine). The form factor is great and the profile is really nice for certain applications. I was able to easily install Linux Mint. Early testing showed good performance. The hardware easy to work with.
