I was fed up with Intel NUC's, and after one of them died ultimately, I
replaced it with:

https://www.amazon.com/Shuttle-DS81-Haswell-chipset-Heatpipe/dp/B00IXFFD4W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495117096&sr=8-3&keywords=shuttle+pc

Admittedly, it somewhat bigger, somewhat heavier, but it is built like
tank, it has more than one ethernet port, has room inside for 2.5 inch
drive/SSD, and has two mini-PCI slots (can accept mSATA drives). And I am
happy about that box ever since.
