If you dont need gfx, you can still turn a 6th Gen NUC into a pretty "mid range" pc. (also the author of this post is wrong about the Intel NUC being fanless)

When I was buying some NUCs for a project at work I am pretty sure I saw a few diffrent models some with passive cooling and some with fans.

Hell, if you really wanted gfx, that thing's got a thunderbolt port.
