Thanks Danny - no, that sounds too scary for my skill level
How do I do that though - Have a 2TB fusion drive - would it mean replacing one of those, so again a tricky thing to do??
Rather than start a new thread…
I want to build a NUC as a ROCK. I clicked the link below from the Roon Knowledge Base, but the Amazon Basket (UK) seems to be out of date.
So, can you guys help me with the latest build NUC, RAM and SSD that is in current production and in stock?
Thanks very much.
Paul
Hey Paul.
Remember, there are more fish in the sea than Amazon! Have a look here, these guys are very helpful, you should find everything you need.
The choices (I3, i5 and i7) are here:

I got 7i5 with only m2 drive although the larger one with space for additional drive is cheaper. 2 x4 gb ram (link on first page) and 128gb m2 drive

One thing to say— keep it in a clean area or get a fanless case. It really seems to suck up dirt which causes a lot of heat and fan noise.
Good Luck!
Big thanks guys!
I’m on it.

Kevin,
Sorry to be a pain but that NUC on Amazon says “…Ready to use out of the box. Windows 10 Pro installed. 16GB RAM 525GB SSD”
Don’t I want a NUC without Windows 10, RAM and a SSD because you’ve listed that separately?
Thanks
Paul
Thanks goes to olchon!
I have just ordered from QuietPC with an i7 NUC in a Akasa Plato X7D Slim Fanless NUC Chassis. Costs a bit more but will be silent (it will be on the HiFi rack under a DCS Bridge) and I’ll have peace of mind as it will be all built ready to go.
Can’t wait.
Big thanks.
Fantastic. Enjoy. I am very tempted to change my case, even with our impeccable home cleanliness(!) the fans get dusty very quickly!
