I suspect that a modest X11 Supernicro board alone is more expensive that this whole NUC from the article.

Also, it's 2-3 times larger, just the board.

That is, it's a great thing to have, but it's a different class of hardware.

The x11 board was less than $350 and the i3 was $140. I think I spend more on RAM than the board.
