Cheaper than it was last time around, this little barebones machine comes with a reasonable processor i3-4010U (passmark of 2449) and a whole host of decent ports:
* Gigabit LAN (Realtek RTL8111G)
* 2 x Front USB 3.0 1 x head phone jack with SPDIF
* 1 x HDMI
* 1 x Mini DisplayPort
* 2 x rear USB 3.0
And, the best part is that it contains a small projector so you can watch your movies or play your games without a monitor. The projector is pretty low res @ 864 x 480 pixels and 75 lumens. However, it's an interesting unit nonetheless, and I'd love to have one to faff around with. At this price, for an i3 in this form factor I think it's a great price.

What I do is buy it first then hide it from the wife for a week. It is amazing how justification can just present itself to you during that time.
That's a great price for branded RAM. Tempting to just buy for my laptop.

Not a bad price at all but, that is an idiotic resolution for the projector.

At least the GPU should be comfortable at outputing to this low resolution - you can get some fuzzy FPS going on there.

I really fancy one of these but cannot justify buying one.

If it's a projector as well then it's going to be noisy!

It's not particularly noisy at all. Shame the projector isn't brighter. You'll need to use it in a fairly darkened room, but it can be used independently, without turning the rest of the brix on if desired.

Only a week? I’ve managed keeping stuff below the radar for years.

that's why having anonymous beige box PCs is great, same old box, totally new inside ;-)

Shame so large but no sata port otherwise it would have been a ESX play thing.
