Considering getting one for both aesthetic and saving money. Gonna get one where I can upgrade the RAM to 128 gigs and the ROM to at least 8 TB SSD.

Any pros, cons, suggestions, etc?

    I game on a NUC. If you’re getting the computer strictly for gaming, I really don’t recommend it. Something with a full pci slot and room for a modern sized graphics card would be better. I have a nvme to pci adapter, and I use the much maligned 6500XT from it. Nvme is only 4 pci lanes, which is all the 6500XT will use. It’s fine for 1080p gaming on medium settings, and nothing more. If you also have a small, low res screen and you’re content with that, I guess go for it. But if you want to play modern games in a way that looks even remotely good, just get a small desktop.
