I'm currently studying for the MCSE exams and wold like to actually deploy a server to play around with. I thought a NUC would be a good option as it's small and could therefore be re-purposed in the future.
I currently host a FreeNAS server on my network as my back up and storage for several other systems. Therefore I don't need the NUC to do any type of storage. I will however try to integrate the two.
I'd like to run the NUC in a headless configuration. What do you guys suggest, would an i3 cut it?
