thanks, ryan. I'm going to have to go with another (ASUS NUC 14
Pro) that i am putting together at new egg. It is 377 compared with
the UM790 which is 493 after I put the guts into it. This leads me
to another question:
I'm going to put a 500GB ssd and 16GB ram. I don't do anything major
with the computer (darktable is about the only thing out of the
ordinary that is ran).16GB is the least amount of RAM they sell.With
that amount of RAM in modern systems will I need to set up swap
space? Or is the (what's it called).... te swap in RAM be
sufficient?

The best price/performance "NUC"-like machine that I've been able to
find is the Minisforum UM790 Pro. It has an 7940HS, USB4, and comes
in a barebones confirguration on Amazon for $375. You can either buy
variants with included RAM/SSD or you an buy the barebones and add
your own.
If you just want super cheap and okay performance, like enough to
browse the internet and whatnot, look for an N100 or N150 mini pc.

I am poor so I was thinking a NUC would be the best option. Can
someone help?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
