Use Intel’s NUC 8 with 8GB of RAM as a home media server and more at $439 shipped ($90 off)

$530 $439

Amazon is currently offering the Intel NUC 8 2.2GHz Mini PC (NUC8I3CYSM) for $439 shipped. That’s good for a $91 discount from the going rate at retailers like B&H, comes within $20 of the all-time low and is the second best price we’ve tracked. Intel’s latest NUC is its most capable miniature computer yet, with this model sporting 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. It features Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB 3.0 ports as well as two HDMI outputs and is a highly-customizable PC that shines when used in your home theater or as a media server. Having just been released at the end of 2018, reviews are still coming in, but previous generations are highly-rated.

Those looking for a more barebones alternative will be right at home with the Intel NUC 6 Essential Kit at $128. It lacks any built-in memory or storage, meaning you’ll have to supply your own hard drive and RAM. But if you already have the needed components, it’s a more affordable way to get started.

Intel NUC 8 Mini PC (NUC8I3CYSM) features:

  • 2.2 GHz Intel Core i3-8121U Dual-Core
  • 8GB of LPDDR4 2400 MHz RAM
  • 1TB Hard Drive with Intel Optane Support
  • AMD Radeon 540 Graphics
  • 2 x HDMI 2.0b
  • 4 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 | 2 x USB 2.0
  • Gigabit Ethernet Port
