You might as well get this from ebuyer for not much more money

Acer Revo M1601 Nettop - £79.98
http://www.ebuyer.com/723605-acer-revo-m1601-nettop-dt-b28ek-002

It's a complete PC as well, but is just lacking an OS.

You'd need to spend about £15 on some RAM (CT51264BF160B) and you'd need to buy a cheap SSD or a 2.5" HDD. You'll then need to download Windows and activate it yourself.

With devices such as the Cenovo Mini PC you're stuck with the 2GB of RAM and a 32GB eMMC. With the Brix you can change the OS, WiFi card, RAM and the amount of storage. So if you need more RAM or storage space then the Brix is the better choice for you, but if you can do what you need with just 32GB (less once the OS is installed) then maybe the Cenovo or Acer Revo would be a better choice for you.

The PSU is rated at up-to 60W, but the board will only pull what it needs, so around 7W. The PSU itself will make a negligible difference. It's just the same as a laptop supply (and the Brix) for all intents and purposes.
RowanDDR
17 Mar 16 #25
Hmm OK, back to the Jetway then I guess. Jetway's power supply is 60W? BRIX uses only 6-11W...

p.s. looks like theres higher spec Jetway models on ebay for around the same prices..

Although.. import duty probably will be added when it arrives in the country.

Good idea but there's 2 problems with that...

1) You'll need to cut holes in the Brix's case to present the sockets.
2) There's a note at the bottom of the listing for the dual-ethernet controller that says it only works with the WinMate ID31 motherboard.

As well as that, you'd be mixing NIC chipsets, so again, compatibility and stability may be an issue.
RowanDDR
17 Mar 16 #23
Hmm, damn. What about... if I rip out the wifi/bt card from the BRIX's mini PCI-E slot (I wont need it), and replace it with a dual ethernet controller... I found one earlier for about $80.

There's a reason I didn't say go for USB-to-Ethernet adapters. They don't often play well with advanced protocols such as LACP. If you're going to go down that route don't expect a bullet proof system. Also, depending on OS you may have to buy adapters with a specific chipset to ensure driver support and even then they may affect system stability.
RowanDDR
16 Mar 16 #21
Thanks, looked good until VAT and postage added at checkout..
Cheaper option.. this BRIX, a £25 SSD (elsewhere on HUKD), RAM, and a couple of USB-to-ethernet adaptors, £10 each from DX.

Good deal heat added, I bought the J1900 version from Amazon for £92 to replace my mothers aging PC and I have been very impressed, runs Windows 10 fine and is a neat solution mounted to the back of her monitor using the supplied bracket.

You can also install Linux ... I already have the J1900 version of this and I'm running it on Linux as a headless home server. Just picked up the last locally available N2807 and will be putting Linux on it too.

Assuming the user is competent with the likes of Linux, the fanless nature and extra-low power consumption makes it a perfect top end NAS solution that isn't restricted by the proprietary OS setup (usually a heavily modified Linux) on many NASes. When I installed CentOS on the J1900 Brix from a USB key it was pretty much ready to go and didn't need a whole lot of extra tweaking or drivers, yet it's 100% configurable unlike the typical commercial NAS which tends to be heavily restricted in the name of ease of use and stability.

Intel NUC DN2820FYKH seems to be more available. Albeit £80 rather than £70.
Not sure of spec comparison but I'm presuming the Celeron 2820 in the Intel is faster than the 2807 in the Brix.

The N2807 should be better for video playback as it supports Intel Quick Sync, which the N2820 doesn't.

I've had one of these for a long time now. It's a decent little PC that can easily play videos via Kodi and it even supports Steam In-Home Streaming, although not at the best quality settings and you need to use an ethernet cable.
GreatBallsofFire to Zardoz

Seems that the 2807 gives about 80% of the performance for typical applications but consumes only about 60% as much power. Therefore, for a NAS/ lightweight server the N2807 would seem to be the better bet.

posted this in the other NUC deal, but applies here too:

Just be careful with these if click and collecting, I reserved one and it turned out to be the last in store (which most of these discounted NUCS are likely to be) the units are ex display will generally be in poor condition and have a huge circular scratch where the kensington locks have been. Not a bad price but call ahead and ask to save disappointment and a journey.

Yes, this is basically just a box with a motherboard and a hard-wired CPU (you can't change the processor) and an external "brick" power supply.
Once you've added some RAM, a disk / SSD and Windows you're past £150 for a small, but low-power PC. Obv. if all you want is to run a media server / kodi you wouldn't need Win10 - just Linux. But if that's all you're planning, it's a waste as any of the £100 Intel-stick type systems is plenty powerful enough for that (and they come with Windows).

​Look at Jetway boxes at Mini-itx.com...

http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=100#JBC375-F533

That's a quad Intel LAN mini-itx unit. You won't find a NUC or a Brix with more than 2 LAN ports.

tempt to get a mini pc but can someone explain any extra components / OS I'd need to buy along with this kit?

it looks like it doesn't include any ram and OS. I may just buy a mini pc like this from china which guaranteed 2Gb ram and 2 OS pre-installed. power comsumption is also pretty low on this i guess.
