Intel's NUC tiny computer
(1/5) > >>
Unstupid:
Was checking out Intel's new NUC computer and thinking that this would be perfect for a tiny bartop.  A Raspberry Pi  that can actually do something!  With a core i3/i5 you may actually be able to emulate some more CPU intensive games!  Check it out: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/14/intels-core-i3-nuc-mini-system-bares-it-all-for-idf-hands-on-v/

I'm aware this is an OLD thread. But i was looking at the new 4th Gen versions of these:

Now you can get i5 Haswell based models that support a 2.5" HDD. It's not a bad idea when you think about it. $300-$400 for the box, throw some RAM and a small HDD in there and it would be perfect for most small bartops, wall mounted Jukes, Mini Pinball machines, etc.



Might be just what i need for my next project after i'm done Flynn's...
Gatt:
That thing is AWESOME!

From an emulation standpoint,  there's an enourmous amount that could be done.  For MAME,  it should do the classics well,  and for consoles it should do at least up to N64 judging from its specs.  I must contemplate this.  Yes,  contemplate...and research!  This may be what convinces me to write a frontend...
Unstupid:
Write a front end?  Cool... But just a FYI, when the first NUC's could handle Hyperspin without breaking a sweat so no need reinvent the wheel, but if ya do let me know.. I'm always looking for the next best thing!  ;)

They're still kind of pricy, IMHO.
