Thinking of going the whole hog and speccing an i7 with plenty of RAM and 2TB SSD.
Would be small and fanless and won't get that hot.

Perhaps wait for Roon core kit to come out? Runs Roon server (Linux) on a NUC. Lots of info about it on Roon community.
That would be my thoughts too. Then if you don't want to use it with Roon you can repurpose it for Linux /windows.
Nice thing with a NUC6i5SYH for example is that you can now when Roon re-considered the internal storage for music have one M.2 disk for Roon Core and one SATA SSD for music inside the machine.
One thing that I dont get the hang of with NUC is the SATA disk number one so it will boot from that and not the M.2 disk? But I suppose this is changeable in BIOS settings?
I do hope they will support more models than the NUC 6 series as NUC 7 is out now.
