I thought so too. If it doesn't go to a board member over the weekend it's off to eBay for $50 moreThat would be a good price even without the RAM, SSD, and OS.

It is. Going to lower it to 400 if it doesn't sell here

Hi zebrock. Im currently building a system and am learning on my I7 3gen laptop. Would this work as the PC for a 16 cam system? I guess I should be asking if any HDDs can be added.
Thanks

This NUC can handle one M.2 SSD and one 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD, so it is possible to add an HDD, but if the included SSD is also 2.5 inch SATA then you'd have to swap it out.
If you ask "Would this work as the PC for a 16 cam system?" without specifying any more details then anyone could answer it however they want.
If you were thinking of using it for Blue Iris, there are a number of reasons it wouldn't be optimal. Hardware acceleration doesn't work in Windows 7 with Blue Iris running in service mode. This is also a 5th generation Intel CPU so it will never support H.265 hardware acceleration (H.264 should work though). As this is a NUC, it trades a lot of CPU speed and storage capacity for small size.
