Are you actually retarded or just pretending?

He needs the power so he can install gentoo faster.

I will be using it mainly for programming and browsing, plus watching movies. I don't need a "gaming" gear because I'm not a kid, but I'd like a setup that will feel fast and responsive with a couple of open projects and browser windows.

its like an I5 is weak

I passed cs101 with a fucking athlon laptop

>>61186533
i5 is completely sufficient for my purposes. Maybe even an i3.

>>61186699
No, a core 2 duo is fully sufficient

I got a feeling you never touched a computer in your life

>>61186968
Are you a total retard?

your ugly asshole supports dual socket

>>61186194
that thing obviously doesnt have enough hdmi slots == underpowered for OPs needs

If NUCs are insufficient, than you're stuck with mini ITX.

redefine need of nano itx over mitx for obvious diminishing returns

>>61186168
why would you want to pay more to get less

Youre best looking at a mini itx system with support for a full height gpu
The cooler master elite 110 is mitx and uses an atx powet supply, and a full height 2 slot gpu. Though not too long of a card.

Hes not wrong though.
For shitposting or watching movies? A core2duo is enough
Its just dumb to build a 775 machine in 2017

Does NUC have the best processors or is there competition?

Brix and NUC both have i7 models.

>Powerful
>Form factor+connectivity
Pick one.

Can someone explain the small-form factor meme?
Is space or looks that much of a premium to toss every advantage that a desktop has and lock yourself to basically laptop specs?

Media centers for living rooms, kitchens and such.
Being able to strap a tiny computer to the back of a monitor and keep it all neat and compact is a really attractive idea.

I'd rather see monitors come with a power-passthru socket on them to deal with this, however.
Literally just needs to be a USB3 C port or similar powered port, don't need the hub or anything, just the correct power.
These things don't need much to run.

>>61186168
Im looking for the same sort of thing.

At least 8gb.
I5 preferrably
Low power draw
And at least 2 gigabit ports.

So far the chink shit seems to fit the bill but at $550 its a bit out of the price range.
