Re: Yet Another Vision Processing Thread

Newegg and Amazon have them. They are in stock so is only delivery time (<week)

So, for now, just find a very high quality boost converter, 12 to 19 volts. Also make sure it has a good driver because a faulty chipset can cause stray voltages to leak in. The NUC is expensive so not the type of thing to break.

By the way, where'd you purchase the NUC from and how much did it cost? Also, how much time did it take from order to delivery?
