Mr Kaido the guru.
I got my thunderbolt edition i3 ivy bridge nuc and stuck in the internals i had laying around. Safe to say, plugged it into my receiver and have a new streaming machine + backup server. Wanted to thank you for that.
New question. I know theres monitors out there like the Gechic Onlap (AT did a review a year or so back). Essentially these are powered by USB but run off HDMI for video so its more like a real monitor. Long story short is I'm wondering if you know any other monitors like this? (USB powered and run off HDMI/MDP) because I'm thinking about building a very small nuc + monitor setup that would be both portable, light and easily moveable without clutter. Would be great because I can just leave one on the kitchen island for my parents and they could easily move it somewhere else while still having a desktop feel to it.
Thanks!
You're welcome! I love these things! Super easy to work on, incredibly small, low power, etc. Way fun to work with! There's a cheaper version ($89) of the neat AOC montior that EliteRetard posted, if you just need something budget-oriented:

They also make USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI adapters, but those just run into standard monitors so not much point since you can just hook those up directly. Might also be worth looking into one of those inexpensive micro-LED projectors if you have any flat surfaces available.
