Looking at the Intel nuc for a hyper v lab but also looking to use it as an htpc system. What I was thinking is:
Intel NUC Kit D34010WYK (i3-4010U)
16GB ram
128GB SSD for os
external 128gb ssd usb drive for vm’s
WD nas drive with tv shows and movies
Run Windows 8 connected to my tv enabling hyper v. Run 4-6 vm’s then when I want to watch movies shut down all vm’s and use xmbc in Windows 8.
Has anyone tried this and any thoughts on how it would work? I was thinking as long as I used it as one or the other I should be fine right?

I would do it the other way around - Windows 8-To-Go on the USB SSD and Hyper-V on the internal SSD. It'll run faster..
What's the total cost? If you don't mind me asking...
