Pretty happy I ditched the NUC for the Raspberry Pi 2 a couple months ago. Running OpenELEC instead of Windows 8.1. The Pi2 surprisingly does just as well as the NUC with Kodi.
Up next is adding a discrete GPU to my NAS and passing through the video to a VM, which would get plugged in to the TV...
Got this puppy on Monday. How else would I plan on burning it in out of the box? :) Not bad for ~36 hrs of use.
Interesting that the video cards only report 2GB each. They have 3GB.

Just waiting for E@H servers to come back up...
I might be interested if you want to get rid of it.
Been doing nVidia cards with Einstein, but have been tinkering with the idea of ditching the GTX650 for an AMD for MilkyWay
Sunny, what is the optimal ratio of CPU cores to GPU tasks?
I'm guessing it varies by setup, as I run 2x GPU tasks on one GPU, and they show 0.2CPU each.
And.... Is that ultimately pulling CPU power from the existing 4x CPU tasks that are running?
The HTPC specs look great since you plan to separate HTPC from NAS.
Get a NAS that can run sickbeard so you can pull that stuff off your HTPC. Leave the HTPC for viewing, and the NAS for serving.
Why do points wildly differ on FreeDC versus the WCG website?
FreeDC says 40,000, yet WCG says 255,276.
Guessing it's the 7 WCG points = 1 BOINC point thing?
Setting GPU up seems to be a chore and giant clusterf*ck.
Based on the posts above, I'm guessing there's no projects within WCG that are issuing GPU units?
If not, I suppose I will still crunch Einstein GPU units...
About to hit 10 million combined on BOINC! (Tomorrow or Thursday)

It's definitely not fanless. The fan is on the other side of the PCB. It can get kinda loud at times. I notice it the most when I'm scrolling through the movie list on XBMC.
See here, scroll down about half-way: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6444/intels-next-unit-of-computing-hands-on
It was...
Rock on. I've been using the NUC as a HTPC since November or December of last year. Originally went with OpenELEC flavor of XBMC, which didn't have the updated Intel HD4000 graphics drivers in the kernel. Switched to Windows 8 and XBMC and haven't looked back.
Highly recommend it!
