Davey Willo Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Hi guys I have decided that I am going to build a Roon Server using an i5 NUC. Can anyone tell me as it seems a bit vague, can any NUC become a Roon server or are there elements that absolutely need to be there for it to be regarded as OK. I have a basket filled at PC Case Gear and before I hit the go button and make a mistake getting the wrong NUC, would any of you NUC aficionados mind having a look and tell me if what I'm ordering is ok. Hopefully you can see the image ok Thank you in advance for any advice that you can give Cheers Dave

I don't need anything like 1TB for the OS but thats the cheapest M.2 on the site... Scratch that, I went back and checked and there is a 500mb M.2 for half the price Edited April 28 by Davey Willo

Have you considered some of the other brands? I needed a new desktop machine and bought a Minisforum. It has been superb. Has room for an SSD in addition to the NVMe, came with 64GB ram, built on AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with Radeon Graphics. Saved quite a bit of money. They have lots of different models. 1
