Needs
- USB keyboard?
- HDMI monitor? I think there a HDMI->DVI Adaptor around? Check boxes down end of the house.
- Currently around a 100GB of photos, etc...
- A microphone/headset for Kahlil. Bluetooth would probably be an idea. Leave this seperate for now. Might need blutooth support on mobo but that dongle I ordered for myself should work.
- Dualboot Windows/Linux
mITX, mATX
- Could use server mobo/cpu. But then no update for parents.
- MiniITX only has the one video card slot.
- cplonline MiniITX mobos - About $159-$210
CPU
- Skylake/KabyLake intel 6th/7th gen socket is: LGA 1151
- AMD Ryzen is Socket AM4
- AMD Ryzen CPUs cost $245, $265, $299, $345, $433, $519 (cplonline)
- There are no mITX AM4 mobos on cplonline. Most are 1151 with a few other Intel sockets. There are 4 mATX AM4 mobos from $119 -> $145
- Some of the Ryzen CPU's ship without coolers...
- 630 graphics get 21.6 fps

NUCs
- Intel NUC Comparison
- NUCs only have like 32gb of internal storage. Probably not enough for dual booting Windows+Linux.
- Versions ending in S have RAM+eMMC installed. Version ending in H do not. Or does it stand for HDD supported? Maybe the new ones are different...
- An i3-6xxx seems to be about %80 of a i5-6xxx
- There isn't a 6th gen i7 other than the $800 skull one... NUC6I7
- $864 seems like an ok choice. 6th i5 + 8gb ram + Samsung 960 250GB Evo + 1tb hdd
- $719 for the i3 with less graphics performance. Could leave the internal hdd.
- $785 i5, no internal hdd
- $640 i3, no internal hdd
- i7 only gets like 30fps in bf4 at 1080p...
