Very happy

Intel NUC BOXD34010WYKH1 Mini / Booksize Barebone System
Intel NUC BOXD34010WYKH1 Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Using as PLEX Home Theater client running modified Windows 7 64bit image. Hardware Intel 525 mSATA 30GB SSD, Intel 7260HMW WIFI/Bluetooth combo, Crucial 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 1600 RAM, and Harmony One remote. I have modified Windows 7 to boot directly into Plex Home Theater, it boots in under 10 seconds. Has been able to handle any video/audio format I have been able to throw at it. Very happy with my purchase.

Cons: Mini PCI-Express cables for Wifi/Bluetooth were labeled backwards. Intel 7260HMW didn't detect Bluetooth until I found an article telling me to swap the +/- and then everything started working great. Seems shutdown or enter some sort of sleep when my LED television is switched to another input. Have tried tweaking all BIOS and Windows 7 settings but still does same thing. Fortunately with Intel SSD it boots in under 10 seconds so its not a deal breaker.

Overall Review: Box makes Intel dinging sound when you open it. They could of knocked off $20 and removed this useless feature and made me much happier.

Intel 7260HMW BN IEEE 802.11 N300 Mini PCI Express plus Bluetooth 4.0 - Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Adapter
Intel 7260HMW BN IEEE 802.11 N300 Mini PCI Express plus Bluetooth 4.0 - Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Adapter

Pros: Installed in Intel NUC D34010WYKH using modified Windows 7 image and PLEX Home Theater. Wireless and Bluetooth have been working solid since drivers were installed.

Cons: I believe this was more of a NUC issue but they had the two cables backwards so Bluetooth would not work until I switched them. So if your Bluetooth is is showing up as an unidentified device in Windows 7 try swapping the +/- cables on the card.

Pros: I'm using it to write this review. This is identical to the factory Lenovo keyboard it was replacing. Dr. Google has quite a few installation guides depending on your model, mine just required removing 6 screws and the ribbon connector. Very good product.

Cons: Shipping took about a week and a half as it was shipped from China via USPS.

Rosewill RC-409LX Switch 10/100/1000 Mbps 5 x RJ45 Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports (Auto MDI / MDIX) 2K MAC Address Table 1MB Buffer Memory

Pros: This is my second purchase of this device. The other one is still working flawlessly since I installed it over a year ago I just ran out of ports. No setup required, just plug and connect your devices. Price is very good.

Cons: I didn't require any specific port configs so I haven't had any cons.
