I did the same. The other benefits of the NUCs is they often have M.2 slots without surgery or extra add-ons and it's easy to find models with dual Ethernet. O

I did the same. The other benefits of the NUCs is they often have M.2 slots without surgery or extra add-ons and it's easy to find models with dual Ethernet. On mine I bonded the interfaces so I've got a "free" 2Gb connection despite my switches only being gigabit (between each other). I've also added storage that's actually reliable rather than having to pray to the SD card gods. I'm also much happier with DC adapters with barrel connectors rather than also having to hope for the best with USB-C power. It took a couple adapters before I got one that would reliably power my RPi4.
