Hi @Mikkel.Bedsted ,

Yes those are the specifications.

We don’t usually need to specify a specific graphics card. Modern onboard graphics are good enough, but if you want to add a dedicated graphics card, it won’t harm of course.

The Ghost nuc will surely be a powerhouse of a machine 🙂

Intel Nucs are great. I have specified quite a lot of them over the years and I have yet to have an issue with any of them. I even have a couple running our office lighting, power cycled everyday and running all day for years. These are the normal “baby” ones ranging from I3-I7s.

I also have the older “Skull canyon” that I like to bring out now and again. This can run a visualizer reasonably well for tradeshow demos + media server. So I have no doubts that the Ghost Nuc will be awesome.

I am jealous of your new toys 😛

(I’d also recommend a Samsung EVO SSD - they are excellent too!)

Jack

hi @jack.moorhouse

THanks! The only reason why I would love to go with a Ghost Nuc is because of the option to get more USB ports on the computer, so I don’t need a hub 🙂

Let see if the rest of the company can approve a update of the system 🤞

@jack.moorhouse So this one should be powerful enough to run shows with 20+ movinglights and some pixel bars ala the Astera AX1? 🙂

@Mikkel.Bedsted I would say that should be fine.

This Nuc’s processor is likely to be more powerful than an L5 🙂

@jack.moorhouse Perfect thanks! I see if I can convince the rest of the company that some money should be spent 🙂 Do you think it is possible to use two screens on that system? (sorry for all the questions, but my knowledge of building a computer is unfortunately quite limited)

No problem !

Yes it will be. They technically support up to 3.

I regularly use 2 with Vista 🙂
