Great build E.
It is a shame you had to swap out the NUCs, but I know the feeling.
My own iMac g3 mod would not run OSX through the MacBook Pro Retina screen using my Zotac H87 board - but it would run Windows - while if I connected a lower resolution screen than the MBPro the H87 was fine too.
Brilliant modding though.
Great job E!
Too bad the i5 Nuc gave you graphic problems..
But switching the Nuc's is a great solution, at least by switching them it wasn't for nothing
Really enjoy all your work E!
