Shuttle Shows off its Smallest Ever PC Solution
The demand for increasingly small, but high-performance PC solutions has now been met by four versions of Shuttle's NC01U model. These 29 mm slim barebones are based on the latest Broadwell generation of Intel processors. In order to cover as many areas of application as possible, they come with a selection of soldered processors ranging from Celeron, Core i3, Core i5 to even Core i7.
Their array of connectivity options helps them stand out from the crowd of NUC form factor machines. The NC01U features a Mini-DisplayPort, HDMI, Intel Gigabit Ethernet, audio, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, RS-232 and an M.2 slot. A replaceable wireless combo module for WLAN (802.11ac) and Bluetooth connectivity also comes already fitted. The case can accommodate one 2.5" drive (SSD or HDD). The two USB 3.0 ports on the front enable rapid charging of mobile devices. Each of the NC01U models can hold up to 16 GB of DDR3L SO-DIMM memory.
All NC01U machines with an Intel Core processor are capable of fluent playback of 4K Ultra-HD (3840 x 2160) content. The image signal is then transmitted at 60 Hz via Mini-DisplayPort or at 30 Hz via HDMI.
Another special feature of these low-energy barebones is the external PCI-Express slot on the bottom. This can be used to connect future external expansion kits such as dedicated AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, an additional 2.5" drive, network interface or further USB and serial interfaces. Further details will be unveiled in the near future.
The NC01U has a whisper-quiet heatpipe cooling system and measures just 141 x 141 x 29 mm (DWH). Thanks to the supplied VESA mount, all versions can be fitted to any surface and to compatible monitors so they virtually disappear from the desktop.

I guess there is no need for vents as there is not HDD and as long as it don't hit 70c they will not care. I know i would and would not buy this cheaply made shit.
I like how they cover the temp part though ha.
Support wide temperature operation- High Stability
The NC01U series uses high quality materials to meet the environmental operation demands of commercial applications. Its rugged design allows for stable operation over long periods of time – even in 50⁰C environments*.
* With use of SSD and Wide Range
And here's a link who into buying cheap crap that's not cheap.

I suppose a Dremel could solve that problem easy enough but it would obviously void the warranty.
The ribs are hiding the air vent holes. They are on both sides. Pay attention in the vid and you will see them.
Seems about the same size as the DS57U? You sure its their smallest ever? The intel Nuc is smaller.
Sure SSD's can take some heat but i don't want mine be getting 50c+ tbh, and on the NUC side a lot worse than that.
The i7 is nearly double the wattage of the i5

ark.intel.com/products/85213/Intel-Core-i5-5300U-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz
So 28 watts compared with 15 watts. (mostly the graphics difference)
Also he said this was during video editing which isn't a normal Nuc use, he said even with 30C ambient the Nuc was ~ 45-50C under normal use which would be just fine.
Still though this seems to eminate from intel using last gen cooling on their very first i7 nuc.

Not an ideal setup and not something that's an issue with any other version.
I think intel just cheeped out as most think it's ok to run shit hot because some of the hardware can take it. To start with solder hates heat like that it can all so course cracking.
Would i get a nuc ?, sure but it would not be in that default box that's for sure and i have a feeling if your SSD fails and that SSD has been over 70c their might be a chance the manufacture would void the warranty to it.
