The key to the kit is Intel's Next Unit of Computing Compute Element, a self-contained motherboard module comprised of a CPU with supporting chipset, memory and NVMe slots, networking chipsets and antennas, plus a fullset of connectors like you'd find on any typical motherboard. The kit itself includes the CE plus a case with a backplane that includes a slot for a GPU, power supply, front connectors, fans and RGB lighting.
You don't have to use the NUC with Intel's kit; third parties make systems built around the NUC -- such as Razer's Tomahawk Gaming Desktop -- and you can buy the module by itself as an easy way to upgrade your CPU and connections.
Intel expects to begin shipping sometime between Sept. and Oct., expanding into regions outside the US, China and Europe through the end of the year. There's no final pricing yet, but Intel expects the kit to run $1,150-$1,350 and $780-$980 for the Compute Element alone. You can preorder some basic configurations now from SimplyNUC.
