Re: [H] Lopaka's Desk project from a few months back

2016-12-15 Thread Greg Sevart
NUC is specifically Intel's "Next Unit of Computing" mini PC form factor, but I 
use it pretty generically to refer to PCs of the same size. For example, 
Gigabyte calls their BRIX.

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/overview.html

They're very small, power-efficient mini systems that can mount on the back of 
a TV or monitor using VESA 100. Intel's NUCs range from Atom-based CPUs all the 
way to the latest Skylake i7s (Kaby Lake announced).

I use some  i3 NUCs on TVs/monitors for PC-based video playback, but they could 
and do replace lower-end PCs and work desktops.

Greg,

What is a "NUC?" But whatever, Lopaka's always been a genius with this kind of 
construction. Another #1.

I'm still staring at the pix, many more days to go.

Duncan, how you doing my friend? I still reminisce about our E3 trip with 
Robert, Hayes, Bino, etc. Good times. I told my son I'll take him when he's 18 
since he's the avid gamer now.  I'll have to see if I can find the pics from 
that year and re-post them for a trip down memory lane :)

I had a couple PC's at my old desk and with externals and stuff the cord 
situation was out of control. This setups pretty tidy with most cords and 
network stuff mounted to the backside of the desk on a piece of plywood with 
minimal visible wires. I also mounted to UPS's on brackets on the backside so 
there isn't anything sitting on the floor under the desk either. My external 
HDD's are inside the desk now too but accessible from the front panel which 
raises up
