[Elecraft] Windows Computer for K-line station

[Doug Person via Elecraft]

Just a quick tip on your Mac.  In order for some monitors to work 
correctly on OS X you need the right cable plugged into the Thunderbolt 
port.  You shouldn't need any drivers for your monitor - just the right 
cable.

Intel has a line of NUC (New Unit of Computing) computers that are 4" x 
4" x 2".  They come in a variety of processor configurations. I use a 
Celeron unit and it is attached to the back of my monitor. Plenty of 
power for anything in the ham shack. They also come in i3, i5 and i7 
configurations if you need more power. The NUCs are available through 
Amazon and most other computer distributors.  You can also look up the 
specs and the various models on intel's website.

Even the Dell monitor I just bought for the P3 SVGA doesn't come with drivers for Mac OS, which limits some of the tricks the monitor can play.  So, advice please - what is the smallest (physically the smallest) Winows-running computer other than a laptop or an all-in-one that would serve well for all of the computer control, logging, and etc. goodies one might reasonably hang on a K-line station?  Real estate on my desk is at a real premium, and knee-hole space is even less.  (The Dell Inspirion 3000 small format is too big.)
