Not sure how good of a deal this is. I loved the Xeon flavor of this thing when it came out 2 years ago, but it was kinda pricey.
But for a tiny box with a couple pcie slots, I jumped on one of the i5 models directly from Intel's NUCOutlet.
Then, after I got it all configured, I saw it for a bit less on Amazon. My plan was to run proxmox + Untangle on the thing with a 10GB nic & a little bit of storage attached. But I think I might instead replace an older NUC I use for work/email tasks.
