Time to build out some proper infrastructure at home, and the
first order of business is the file+auth server.  I don't need
screaming fast performance, just something basic, and I have been
looking at some of the current crop of small form factor desktops,
along the lines of the Intel NUC.  (But I'm in no way married
to Intel.)

I'm curious in hearing from anybody ACTUALLY RUNNING on that sort
of machine.  The spec's I'm looking for are pretty minimal:

* amd64 arch.

* a gig-E port I can saturate.

* SATA-II SSD disk (2.5 inch is fine), preferably that will
  max out the SATA interface. PCIe/m.2/whatever is okay, as
  long as it works with the 9legacy kernel, but remember this
  is a file server, so I want to be able to pack a fair number
  of bytes into it, making $$$ an issue for non-SATA storage.

* >= 16GB RAM.

* 2 x USB1/2 (for kbd/mouse), USB-3 for external blu-ray writer.

* basic bitmap video (VGA/VESA is fine).

Thanks for any feedback you can give!
