| ajmitch | hads: what'd you get? | 01:13 |
| thumper | hads: it lies | 01:21 |
| thumper | hads: it doesn't have four siblings | 01:21 |
| thumper | there are four of them :) | 01:21 |
| G | hads: wow, thats pretty rocking | 01:25 |
| hads | ajmitch: It's an Intel NUC, a little thing the size of a... | 01:48 |
| hads | small square block of cheese or something. | 01:49 |
| hads | I can't think of a good comparison. | 01:49 |
| mwhudson | not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuc | 01:49 |
| hads | Different NUC :) | 01:50 |
| hads | http://www.silentpcreview.com/files/images/intel-nuc/nuc1.jpg | 01:50 |
| hads | So far I have discovered that it's really good at running XBMC. | 01:51 |
| mwhudson | that's pretty tiny | 01:51 |
| mwhudson | what does it have for storage? msata ssd? | 01:51 |
| hads | Yeah | 01:51 |
| hads | 2 x USB, 2 x HDMI and 1 x GigE on the rear, this is a different model to that picture, black rather than red. | 01:52 |
| ajmitch | looks pretty minimalist | 01:52 |
| G | hads: are you using XBMC with DVB-S or -T recordings? | 01:52 |
| hads | I have DVB-S cards here but not sure I have any recordings handy. It works fine with the Freeview DVB-T recordings though. | 01:53 |
| mwhudson | i guess this is intel's answer to things like the cotton candy, to some extent? | 01:53 |
| G | hads: okay, -T was what I was worried about :) | 01:53 |
| hads | Plays perfectly, no dropped frames. | 01:53 |
| hads | mwhudson: It seems to be a great answer. | 01:54 |
| G | I'm becoming really, really tempted to tell the truth | 01:54 |
| hads | I've always been shy of things with fans but this is really really quiet, I can barely hear it with my ear right on the vent. | 01:55 |
| hads | Totally inaudible over the ambient noise | 01:55 |
| * ajmitch wouldn't mind something like that to connect to the TV | 01:55 | |
| ajmitch | the laptop I have for the job is the opposite of quiet | 01:56 |
| hads | I've tested quite a bunch of things connected to TVs (have 4 HTPC in the house and have for quite a few years), initial impression of this blows everything else out of the water. | 01:57 |
| ajmitch | I just can't really justify to myself buying more hardware :) | 01:57 |
| hads | Yeah it isn't super cheap but not bad for what you get. | 01:58 |
| G | ajmitch: that is my concern, I've lost count of what the total processing capacity in the house is at the moment :) | 01:59 |
| ajmitch | intel nuc | 01:59 |
| ajmitch | hm | 01:59 |
| ajmitch | G: I've got 3 laptops on or around my desk at home | 02:00 |
| ajmitch | it starts to get a little bit much | 02:00 |
| G | ajmitch: I've got 3 HP Workstations & a Laptop in one room just for work | 02:01 |
| ajmitch | I'm trying to cut down on number of systems in use | 02:01 |
| ajmitch | virtual machines should be good enough for most stuff I want to do now, rather than spare hardware | 02:02 |
