My server "restarted" again expectantly, and while I am planning on moving it to an i7-4790k based system (currently an core 2 duo e8400) , I don't want the Home automation running on thise server for a few reasons (it is my development machine, my home media server, etc). If I have to restart the server or work on it for any reason, I don't want the home automation going down. It also gives me the ability to turn off the "big" server for long periods of time to save power if I want.
I was looking at the NUCs and I am curious if anyone can give me a recommendation for any specific model in particular. It is hard to determine which are the newer ones and which are the older ones.
I ran across the NUC5CPYH which seems to be fairly cheap, but it has a celeron, which scares me a bit. I want something that will keep HS running very snappy, but have as low power usage as possible. Likely this machine will be used only for HS an nothing else. I have considered also using it though as the main Plex viewing device for the living room, but I have a HTPC I could use for that if I so desired.
Also note that I'm not tied to a NUC, but I've heard great things about them, so that is where I'm starting.
P.S. I know this topic comes up a lot, but technology changes rather quickly and recommendations can change just as fast. I will try and keep this thread updated with my information
