Just curious, did you ever hear back on any of these questions? Also, did Sally have any indication as to how long it would take to ship one of these (the Qotom T30) to the USA?
Delivery: 5-15 days (ships out within 3 days), Seller Guarantees: On-time Delivery 27 days
One more to keep an eye on: the Quanmax QDSP-1000 and QDSP-1001

Note that it has three digital display outputs- two DisplayPort, and one HDMI! It also has dual gigabit ethernet.
The dimensions are 130mm x 111mm x 35mm, so it is quite a bit smaller than the T30 (205mm x 140mm x 40mm)... and even just a bit smaller than the Qotom-Q100 (138mm x 124mm x 34mm). It's larger than the BRIX (114.6mm 107.9mm x 29.9mm), but this Quanmax has space for a 2.5" drive inside the case. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
The Quanmax QutePC-4001 looks to be the exact same machine, but in a more rounded plastic case instead of the squared off aluminum case.
Dimensions are: 130mm x 116mm x 39mm

For what it's worth, I sent an inquiry to the sales department of Quanmax, requesting availability/pricing information as well as photos with the case cover removed if possible, for all three of the models I listed above. I'll let you know what they say. :thumbsup:

Sorry about it.
2. According to the new listing here:
Another option, under a different seller, for the computer I listed above:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini...chassis-motherboard-dual-core/1312219331.html
Price is $146.84 shipped for the barebones. (with 2GB RAM $7 extra, 8GB SSD $11, 16 GB SSD $18, 32GB SSD $24)
Major difference under "seller guarantees" is 15 days longer protection and "faultless goods" (items can be returned even if they are in perfect condition, but buyer pays shipping)
You mean like a Silverstone PT14 (NUC enclosure)?:
Its finally being sold:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F9VRQDY/...xtension-kb-20
$40 shipped.
Now are there any 1037U NUC compatible motherboards for this case?
I don't think Intel has a 1037U NUC... I think the 847 NUC is the closest you can get:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856102004
At $165 for the 847 NUC, you might as well spend the extra $5 for the significantly more powerful 1037U BRIX.

Also, did you see the thermal review of the Silverstone PT14 that came up recently?
Fanlesstech said:"Results for SilverStone PT14 are nothing short of disastrous."
The really crazy part is that the PT14 has a fan... Aside from the Intel, the other cases it was compared against are fanless!
http://www.fanlesstech.com/2013/10/nuc-chassis-comparison-test.html
... which is a summary of:
http://extrahardware.cnews.cz/recen...k-intelu-nuc-bozske-ticho-vas-pohlti-nepusti/
But soon it correctly guessed that PT14 will be significantly quieter. While max. 2400 rev. / Min vetráčiku small SST can be classified as a more acceptable noise level, 6000 rpm Intel is already really extreme.
The head of the cabinet Impactics holding the temperature within acceptable limits, and for all components. Akasa have the upper hand over mainly because it keeps the bowels less heat, which is starting to be the case for Newton cabinets critical for SSD, it has just over 70 ° C.
Major problems but it has Petit PT14. While CPU temperatures are fine, but they are just the result that the fan does not need to be rotated more than 225 rev. / Min, and as a result suffer from memory and SSD MOSFETs. In an alarming 82 degrees on the disc will probably be better at the expense of higher noise spur fan of the BIOS. The fan in the box Intel default profile is now better understood, although in addition to 3640 rev. / Min for higher price levels and 75 ° C is also on the SSD too.
a website in uk posted a new review on the biostar 1037u board.
http://www.overclockerstech.com/biostar-mini-itx-motherboard-review/
from the benchmark results, it seems like 1037u is less powerful than the kabini a6-5200 board from ECS, which is price at $139.99.
That Czech NUC review in post #260 got me wondering about fanless cooling efficiency on NUC vs. EPIC with respect to SSD temps:
Based on what I read in the Czech review, it appears CPU temps aren't really the issue with PT14 and NUC (Re: CPUs can tolerate a Tjunction of 105C), but rather SSD temps we should be more concerned about.
So while an EPIC board is larger and would obviously require more metal for the enclosure, Is this really a bad thing when NUC appears to require more metal in the case for best possible cooling anyway?
I think this might have actually been a typo by Overclockers Tech. All of their text and images show a comparison of the Biostar against the "ECS NM70-12". But the "dash twelve" motherboard doesn't appear to actually exist. Instead, I think they are comparing the 1037U Biostar against the 1037U ECS NM70-I2 (letter "I", number two). That would explain why the results are so incredibly close. (Note the scales on the graphs).
Sorry I didn't post the link for the comparison, hwbot has a list of benchmarks from a6-5200 with asrock mini ITX board, and the performance of a6-5200 is way higher than 1037u, even super pi 1M AMD is leading 1037u, which we all know Intel has the advantage for years.
http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/a6_5200/
So bringing this back around to the 1037U systems, I think the Qotom T30 actually has a pretty good chance of keeping the SSD and RAM cooler. Not necessarily because the motherboard is larger and more spread out, but because the case is well ventilated. The top has two sets of vents, and two of the four sides have vents as well. This will prevent the extreme buildup of heat that the NUC cases in that review have. :thumbsup:
Hmm, interesting.
So the Super Pi mod 1.5 XS 1M results for the systems are as follows (lower is better):
Biostar NM70I-1037U: 34.436
ECS NM70-I2: 35.223
A6-5200 (ASRock IMB-A180-H): 31.816
I did a Google search to see if I could find any other results... What do you think of this one?
http://www.notebookcheck.com/Intel-Celeron-1037U-Notebook-Prozessor.87686.0.html
A 1037U laptop, the Terra Mobile 1512, scored 21.528 on the Super Pi mod 1.5 XS 1M.
//edit:
Even the Celeron 847 seems to be capable of matching or beating Overclockers Tech's results with the 1037U systems:
34.960
http://hwbot.org/submission/2397984_borandi_superpi___1m_celeron_847_34sec_960ms
so where did the 36 seconds in super pi come from? I did a check at hwbot, they listed 1007u super pi 25 seconds, which beats a6-5200 a lot even at only 1.5GHz frequencey, 1037u at 1.8GHz would be close to 20s.
Gigabyte again paired the 1037u with a PCI not pci-e, that means you can't use it for external video card for madvr.
Looking at the Streacom NC1 in the update review from post #265:
It does have a good amount of vent holes. It is also the smallest purely fanless case in the group. (Only the Silverstone PT14 and Stock NUC are smaller).
Yet it has the worst SSD temps of all the fanless chassis in during both OCCT and 40Mbps H.264 playback.
Not sure what is going on here?
