I'm honestly very interested. Pretty cool.

We have several NUCs and BRIX at the office, very capable, but some models are quite noisy.

Biggest concern is that these are low-volume parts, and priced accordingly.

And in a small box you're simply not getting full performance out of a 'full size' GPU without it screaming like a banshee either!

I built a tiny BRIX system for my mom. Works great for what she needs and I slapped it on the back of her monitor.

This thing will cost so much I'd rather go ITX build route.
