The NUC we just got at work to play around with uses standard laptop size RAM in 2 SO-DIMM slots. For storage, there are two NUC models - a slimmer one has just room for an mSATA SSD, then there is a thicker one the mSATA/mini-PCIe slot with a standard 2.5" mounting tray. You will still have to get a WiFi adapter if you need WiFi. There are lots of standard half-size mini-PCIe WiFi cards. Not sure how the video works yet, but if you order one make sure to get a mini-HDMI to HDMI or a mini DisplayPort to regular DisplayPort adapter.
