I have the Skullcanyon NUC, and this is not comparable. I've been waiting for someone to offer me ECC in a small form factor. This is the first time I've ever seen it.
I also have the Skullcanyon, as a laptop replacement machine. None of my previous personal computers have had ECC RAM, but none have had more than 16GB either. What is your use case that benefits from error-correction, if you please?

Fair enough. My main ergonomic requirement for a workstation is zero noise at rest, and reasonable otherwise. I'm interested in seeing what I can get in form factor though.
My goal as well. I think that I assumed (wrongly) that these small form factor computers would be more quiet than a tower.
Tangent: I'm curious about HP's hostname taxonomy. I.e. What products or content live under www8 vs www2 or www7. http://www8.hp.com/.. .
www2 - partnering, alliances education [1] www3 - investor relations, careers [2] www4 - central european languages [3] www5 - japanese [4] www6 - no results found www7 - open vms [5] www8 - seems to be the primary site for english content

Is there an obvious reason that they stick with traditional air cooling for this, rather than using liquid cooling? Here's an example of a compact system with liquid cooled CPU and graphics card built using off-the-shelf parts: http://blog.newegg.com/building-a-mini-itx-gaming-pc/ I'd think that at this small size, you'd need really high air velocity to make it work. Coupled with small fans, this generally means the…
I'm not sure there is excessive fan noise here, they have two fans and customized heatpipe design for what, 60W of excess heat at full load?
The supported E3-1270, 1275, and 1280 are rated at 80W. I'm not sure about the M620 GPU, but since it's the successor to the 45W K620, that might be a good guess. If they need to offer the 200W version, I assume they will occasionally need to handle at least 135W of cooling inside the chassis.
Only 2 USB ports? - Actually, when you click the review picture with the ports, you can't see the 2 USB-C ports and 4th DisplayPort. Web design glitch.

No USB-C ports would be a total deal breaker for me.

Liquid circulation doesn't actually cool, just transfers the energy to another interface for eventual dissipation into the air.
What is the etiquette on posting literal company press releases? I'm not asking snarkily, but mean it as a serious question. I don't want to see an HN that's dominated by ads for the latest gadgets, but I understand that this is something of interest to hackers, and perhaps that criterion dominates all others.
I was a little disappointed when I saw that it doesn't have a release date. Just a "Notify Me" link.

Any idea to which consumer card the Quadro M620 correlates? If it's something halfway decent then it might be a also a much better ultraportable gaming solution for some people than e.g. a NUC. However that also depends on if the Quadro drivers are suitable for gaming or not.
Its desktop variant the K620 performs between a GTX 750 (non-Ti) [1] and a 730 [2], so it doesn't look exceptional. I'd guess around Intel Iris level. [1] http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-Quadro-K620-vs-N... [2] http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-Quadro-K620-vs-N...
