I got a BOXDN2820FYK (Intel Celeron N2820 NUC) a few of weeks ago (sourced locally).

As a XBMC frontend, it's brilliant.
After a BIOS upgradem I installed Openelec v4 on it, everything worked out of the box.
Video, sound and remote worked without any need for configuration. (I already had an MCE remote)

No problem playing any content including Mythtv recordings.
