How to Assemble an Intel NUC N2820 HTPC for Plex, XBMC, & Kodi

The Intel NUC DN2820FYKH is an exceptional unit for a general use PC around the home or as a HTPC. This video will show how to assemble the barebones kit for the purpose of creating a HTPC.

After assembling and then testing different media software, I've found that if you are wanting to stream through your browser via Plex or another web-based media format then you may find this model to be lacking in horsepower. I did find, however, that using a front end like XBMC, allows this small unit to be THE most cost effective HTPC media streaming PC available on the market. Not only can the kit be found around $140 but the N2820 processor only uses 7W power when idle and a maximum of 14W at full load.
