NUC build?

ahoy shipmates!

My trusty macbook pro has started falling apart under the strain of 24/7 life as a server and plex machine.

I'm in the market for a new computer, and having been out of the PC building lark for 6 years there's a hell of a lot of changes out there!

My instant thought was get a Mac mini for £500. 2.5Ghz Intel i5, 4GB Ram, 500gb HDD and Intel HD4000 graphics.

I've seen some of these NUC bare bones and they look rather impressive, and looked at the options of an ITX or mATX build and things seem like I might be able to get more for less but I honestly don't know.

Is anyone on the boat up to date with hardware that would be able to help me spec a machine?

Ta!

Matt.
