Hey guys
Planning to build a *mac-mini* killer which costs roughly half the price of a brand new mac mini.
Here it is :
Intel i3 HDMI / Thunderbolt NUC (DC3217BY) - $175
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093LINT2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AVGGEPEO9L187
Power Cord for NUC - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000234TYI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2JSBUBRVPP4SX - $4
RAM : 4GB DDR3 SODIMM laptop ram (don't have the link, buying locally) - $20
Wifi Card - Dell dw1702 - $12
MSATA SSD (Need advice on this)-$55 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DY5C7AY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3ISMVC1FTQD6C
Random USB Sound card - $5
That's Roughly $275 Dollar
____
So that sums up my build.
So is this build gonna work? or am i buying something incompatible?
Now, i just wanted to ask that will the SSD work fine because it has some sort of Super Cache 2 technology. I heard that it only works on windows. Need your help on this one. Else if it dosen't work, I'll buy another 64 GB SSD.
So is this build gonna work? or am i buying something incompatible?

Another question, how will this board do : Foxconn H61S - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186216
and this ASRock H81M-ITX - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157451
and this ASROCK H81M-HDS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157450

The question regarding the NUC is more important but please do throw some light on the compatibility of the other two boards as well.
Thanks in Advance
