    Well I was looking for a £100 PC then I started reading about mini PCs. To be honest I think your price for the NUC was excessive, if you shop around for components you can save over £100 off your stated price. I have a 120GB SSD in my current dell that I can use.

    I find it difficult researching when my PC is broken as I prefer using a big screen and a mouse and proper keyboard.

    The other thing is I really want to use Windows 10, I have a Windows phone running 10.

    what the "nucs" have as opposed to most of the others is the built in CIR receiver , that enables you to control amongst other things xbmc/kodi with a freely available £10 xbox controller
