Hey all,
I'm looking to purchase a mini PC solely for office work. I need it to run dual monitors and possibly a 3rd. I've been out of the pc market for a while and feel rather lost.
As an example I see some NUCs advertised as "dual monitor capable" - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=1VK-004K-00013 - and I'm unclear on this wording. Do I need Displayport monitors to run more than one? Can I just run 2 off of a splitter?
I've seen a few NUCs in the $400 range that I think will be fine but I don't know how the Celeron chips compare with the i3's and above. For my work, I do run several applications at a time but nothing graphically intensive; speed is important so I am leaning to the i3 but just because I think its faster. HD space is not important and I think I could get away with 4GB of RAM.. but 8 is preferrable.
The NUCs seem like the best bet. The Gigabyte Brix's looked more expensive.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for any assistance!
