I've been using intel nucs as mini hypervisors for years. They are amazing little machines that I can shove in a cabinet somewhere - quiet, low powered, but good enough that you can do actual tasks on them, unlike an Atom (at the time, not sure where atom is at these days, does it even still exist?). Thunderbolt allows me to whack a 10GbE NIC on there and offload all storage requirements to my NAS.
Brix offers a little bit more IO, at the cost of larger volume. Not necessary for me. The only thing I desire is IPMI, so MrFoof's suggestion of using AMD DASH is intriguing. Maybe next time.
