I bought a NUC6CAYH which has a Celeron J3455, 8 gig ram and a 240 SSD

I'm hoping to use it for my radio station as part of a STL to my TX site.

At present I have software running on the same PC that handles 1/10 Usenet+Games HUB but it's impacting on the audio stream to the TX site when games packets are being processed.

Turns out I misjudged the audio input on the NUC so now I have bought a basic USB external sound card and am just waiting on that to arrive so I can set up a line input into to the NUC which is what I need to do to run the software I want to use :)

I like the device, small and no noise, tempted to source a few more but leery over the range of models and which ones play nice (or are easier to work with) with different OS like Linux etc. Seems many of the later models have some support from the NUC site.

Anyway I'll sort this NUC out first but the goal is to reduce my power footprint of PC's running in the house. There';s currently four running 24/7
