Zotac ZBOX-ID83-U Intel HM76 2 x 204Pin Intel HD Graphics 4000 Integrated by CPU Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Excellent compact computer
- Pros: Size
Flexibility - Cons: Layout
Ports
- Other Thoughts: Great little computer. I added Windows 8, 4gb ram and a Samsung 840 SSD. Very speeding for everyday use (no gaming). Added a external hard drive for music storage with a 3.0 usb connection.
I'm not sure I needed some of the ports, such as the optical but may come in handy in the future. Wish there were more 3.0 ports.
Didn't use the wireless or the remote control, so can't comment.
Set up was quick and easy.

Foxconn NanoPC AT-7700 Intel HM76 2 x 204Pin Intel HD Graphics 4000 Integrated by CPU Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
An interesting option
- Pros: small
quiet
quick
well-designed - Cons: NOT silent
NOT fanless
- Other Thoughts: This is a great little machine, but the AT-7700 is NOT completely silent as advertised, and it is NOT fanless. It is, however, very quiet.
I've had a number of unusual problems with getting the unit up and running. After about a day of use there was some kind of short in the system that completely fried my Crucial M4 500GB SSD. Utterly killed it. I've owned that drive for 18 months, used it in several machines, and never had a problem before. The short also wiped out my backup drive docking station. It was all very weird ... and expensive to fix.

Intel NUC BOXDCCP847DYE Intel QS77 2 x 204Pin Celeron 847 1.1GHz
Great little server
- Pros: It's tiny, draws little power, is very quiet, and so far works flawlessly.
The Celeron version is plenty powerful enough for me. - Cons: This is not a problem for me but I can see how it would be for some people, but there's room for exactly 2 memory chips and 2 devices (SSD + wifi is the norm). So if you wan't to add something else, it's USB (or Thunderbolt if you get that version).
- Other Thoughts: I got these too and they work great with it:
* G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-8GBSQ
* Mushkin Enhanced Atlas Series MKNSSDAT60GB-DX mSATA 60GB SATA III MLC SSD
The Mint Linux installation went flawlessly.

Jetway JC200S-B-JNF99FL-525 2 x 204Pin Intel GMA 3150 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Nice box, but....
- Pros: Small, low power, efficient, suitable as a "small server" or specialized box. Works well for Linux or BSD server or router.
- Cons: Does not provide 12v on drive connector(s), so it's not for use with a Seagate Constellation 2 enterprise drive
- Other Thoughts: Bought this for a BSD Unix server/router box. Wanted to use Seagate enterprise drive, but after discovering no 12v on the drive power connecter I ended up with a WD Black drive. Hopefully the long-term reliability will be good.

Foxconn nT535-0h0w-B-A-NA Intel NM10 1 x 204Pin Intel GMA 3150 Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Must Chime In
- Pros: This is a great form factor to turn any pre-smart TV - smart. Has plenty inputs for even the most savvy techno-geek. Does 64 bit with grace.
- Cons: Support is rather limited so that is where the value of Newegg comes in. Hibernation is given new meaning on this unit. The GMA 3150 is strangled when it comes to Linux distros.
- Other Thoughts: Had to post after reading ALL the memory woes. I have just 1 one solution to offer. Actually it is a Microsoft brainchild -Ready Boost. Git yourself some " quality " SDHC memory ,use the card slot, and assign the 4 Gb SD card to Ready Boost. You may be smitten. I do know it acts as a hard drive cache, but in lieu of a SSD this is by far the less
expensive solution. I picked up Kingston HCSD in the 4Gb
volume for $4.20. Plugged them into every laptop I own running Windows Vista and later. Sweeeet !

Foxconn NTA350-0H0W-B-A-NA AMD A45 (Hudson D1) 1 x 204Pin AMD Radeon HD 6310 Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Perfect Home PC
- Pros: Bought this for a home PC to do web browsing and word processing. The deal was made even better because it came with a free SSD which was big enough for my needs, as I am keeping most user data on a Synology NAS. For this application this system is perfect, it boots in seconds and is almost completely silent. Energy consumption is way less than old box we were using.
- Cons: First you install the OS, then the drivers. One small glitch was when I tried to install the OS from a USB stick plugged in to one of the front ports. The install got hung up. Turns out when installing the OS, it chokes if it's via a USB 3.0 port which the front ones are on this box. Did some research, plugged the USB into one of the ports in the back and then the install went perfect. The drivers have to be installed after the OS, this went fine. After this system is set up, you can use the front ports no problem (and they are fast!), it's only a problem when installing the OS.

Foxconn NanoPC AT-7700 Intel HM76 2 x 204Pin Intel HD Graphics 4000 Integrated by CPU Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Rock Solid, Good Performance
- Pros: Very stable, runs cool, not a hint of a problem. Good performance.
- Cons: Mini PCIe not mSATA compatible. Foxconn replied to my query on 4/26/13 as follows: "The current AT-7000 NanoPC barebone cannot support mSATA on the mini PCIe slot. In the future, we will upgrade the PCB revision from 1.0 to 1.1 to support mSATA on the mini PCIe slot."
- Other Thoughts: Very happy with this little box. Highly recommend. Biggest problem is finding it in stock.

Intel NUC BOXDC3217BY Intel QS77 2 x 204Pin Core i3 3217U 1.8GHz HD Graphics 4000 Integrated by CPU Chassis
Rocks
- Pros: It just works well. SSD, RAM WiFi and you're up. Running Win7 in an office. Fast quiet and it fits on the back of the monitor. Lookout Apple, this thing crushes your mini.
- Cons: No power cord, but knew that going in. USB2 instead of 3. Should allow for 2.5" HDs, but it only allows SSD mSATA - oh well.
