To me NUCs have sort of the same problem as their brethren in this space, you end up with too much money into them. In terms of cheap desktops, I've settled into older Thinkpads for now. Tolerably quiet (although I do consider fanless desktops now and again), cheap, they appear to be the kings of OS compatibility, as fixable as a laptop can be, built-in battery backup for the shitty power we have 'round these parts. At some point I'll have to modernize, but find it hard to spend much on computers. That's what employers/clients are for.
