    NUC/Small Form PC recommendations?

    Hi, I am looking to buy two NUC’s.

    Pioneer SA-9800 repair – another one.

    My trusty old Pioneer SA-9800 died recently (it had had a tough life, so that it lasted so long is a testament to how well built they were). Had a look at second hand prices and decided fixing it may be a better idea. Have had a look at previous posts and am very grateful for the information...
