Hmm. Dual m.2 slots (wifi and ssd). Wifi wires included. Vesa mount. Not bad. I will need an hdmi to dvi connector though

Re: Building an auto shop computer

Oh I found one with built in wifi (many of them only come with the wifi antenna cables and you have to install a mini m.2 wifi card).

What do you guys think? Its a mobile i5

Re: Building an auto shop computer

i think your not thinking clearly.
you cant use wifi in a workshop, ignition systems and welders etc will jam it.

Re: Building an auto shop computer

they currently have a usb extension cable, running up a pole with a duct taped up USB wifi adapter. No problems

I don't think they use arc welders

Got it. Mobile i5 broadwell. 24" samsung monitor with a back mount. But had issues installing on the 950 pro. Turns out it has its own driver for it's pci-express chip. Had to find someone who extracted the files so I could load them into windows 7 install

Re: Building an auto shop computer

I didn't have any usb issues. The usb was set to auto, which detects the current implimentation and switches. For instance it allows ehci on the windows install. The issue was never with broadwell, it was with skylake, which only allows xhci (yeah unless you impliment drivers on install boot). I found this out during a skylake i3-6100 build for a customer of mine. Luckily, the motherboard had a ps/2 keyboard/mouse combo, and I was able to go through the windows setup easily with just a keyboard. Unfortunately the usb install method did not work from my flash drive even with usb legacy mode on. Had to actually use sata otherwise it could not find source files. No problem with usb keyboard/mouse or usb install of the NUC

Re: Building an auto shop computer

i see a big problem you said that the nuc will be used in a workshop and there is a lot of dust and computers and dust don't go very well as in this case the nuc is not fanless and it has a small fan and heatsink that will be cloged with dust

Re: Building an auto shop computer

Yeah I know it has a little fan assembly. But it's waay of the ground. Even the old computer didn't have mch dust and it was right near the floor
