<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Intel NUCs are a great option, are very quiet and since they are quite small, can fit almost anywhere. One built-in network controller though. I have an all-in-one Juno install at home with 8GB RAM and an i5
processor. Granted I am quite limited, but you can also opt for one with 16GB memory, an i7 processor and a ~250GB SSD for $500-600 at Amazon.com. Some models can hold 2 SSDs (one SATA and one mSATA) so you can have extra disk capacity if needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Exactly, was about to mention this one. /me was considering it:<br>
<br>
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-d54250wyk.html<br>
<br>
But, I'm looking for one that has the newest Intel processor (Atleast "Haswell").<br>
