Mini PC for music server

breadvan

Hi there, saw couple of these very mini PCs, wonder if any ching has other suggestion.

My criteria is similarly small packages like these, and Windows based.  No need to be super powerful, not even i7, as long as it can comfortably run as a music server.  Oh quiet of course.

Both are good and small! I have a i3 Intel NUC. I use it mainly for CAS.

Great, which model are you using? Enough performance for CAS?

Main issue for this kind of miniature pc is heat issue. It gets super hot after long hour of operation, voyage mpd kit is a better choice.

I am using the model with i3, LAN, 2xhdmi. It comes with a wifi PCI-e module, but I do not use it. It is fast enough for iRiver to transcode non DSD files to 2x DSD format output to my DAC in real time.
