Intel NUC Giveaway

Hey Linus, I want that NUC pretty bad. 

You see, I have a separate 27" monitor from my main rig that I use exclusively as a web browser. This thing runs solely on a Raspberry Pi running a modified Linux kernel that makes the thing run exclusively as a web browser. The RP is mounted to the back of my monitor via a makeshift bracket I made, which could be adjusted to fit the NUC.

The thing about the NUC is that it's passively cooled which means it draws less energy. I needed to use the RP to power this web browser because my computer draws 1000 watts at full power and I only have 200 watts left of energy left that I could use without blowing the circuit.

This would make my experience much better, because at the moment I lag to all hell if I dare encounter some type of applet on a webpage. It's like trying to play Crysis on a macbook.

I like how the NUC is in a small form factor, easily usable for a media pc or something simple for a non hardcore user.

What is the difference between a brick and a ginger guy?

I would love a NUC PC. It would be great to just put it on the back of my monitor and forget about it.

There have been many wars that have rocked the face of Earth, Many have heard of WWI, WWII, The Cold War, The Vietnam War and the Iraq War. But there has been a war that only a handful of humans know.....AMD vs Intel. It all started in 1985 when Intel released the first 32bit processor, the Intel 386. This war has been raging on for decades and Intel and AMD are still at each others throats. Fanboys have been ruthlessly killed, motherboards have been short circuited and most gruesome of all... CPU pins have been bent. Stop this war before it is too late. #STOPTHISWAR
