intel NUC Kit NUC5i5RYH i5-5250U UCFF Barebone PC - NUC. EDIT: Ebay stock expired but available from Encore at Amazon
The next unit of computing sounds nerdy but fear not, it's a tiny little powerful PC, just add memory, hard drive and operating system and you're good to go! - this seems very good value for an i5 base intel NUC, while this isn't the latest model it still sells for £50 to £100 more elsewhere. Barebones means it won't work until you add a hard drive (SATA SSD / drive or m2 SSD) plus DDR3L memory and an operating system of your choice.
EncorePC have been selling on ebay for over 10 years, have 4000+ positive feedback and seem legit although I've never used them.
Stock expired but same seller and price from Amazon (thanks to DaveG46 for the link)

Yes looks like a decent bargain but am slightly perplexed and my butler couldn't help either, doesn't everyone have a housekeeper? :smile:

Nice find. What's more interesting however, is that you have a housekeeper cheeky

While looking for a new intel NUC for my housekeeper I stumbled across this apparent excellent deal on ebay, seems like a decent legitimate seller and the price is excellent for an i5 NUC, it is an older model but still likely to tick many boxes (if you're after a computer that can run highly demanding box ticking software)

I love these NUC's and have and older I3 and a newer I7 which is very fast great space savers and as long as your not a hard core gamer they will do everything you want.
Heat from me.

Yeah these are great little performers that are so small, am tempted to get one to replace a Gigabyte Brix that's been in use for a couple of years.

I have two I5 NUC's that are now about 2 years old. Both have SSD's and I have replaced the housing with fanless housings made from aluminum.
Great PC's IMHO.

Decent price but not brand new and only 3 months warranty. Still decent though.

It's says they're new but yes they're only giving a 3 month guarantee, although I don't know if they actually can do that as a trading business, consumer protection still applies.

Looks like it's about on-par performance wise with the new Kaby Lake i3s which are around £280. Good deal.
I have a couple of the 4250 ones and they are great as long as you just want browsing, playing videos and office kind of stuff. I actually gamed on one of them (older games though) and it wasn't terrible
