We seem to be on the edge of a new wave of nuc type and super small size computers so figured would post some specs and details on them in case anyone is interested.
Asus Chromebox (fanless design)
http://www.legitreviews.com/asus-chromebox-intel-powered-fanless-starts-179_135276
Looks like an nuc but its fanless should have core i7 4600 cpus later on in the year, but due march+
Intel Bay Trail NUC Kit DN2820FYKH
An Intel nuc with the new bay trail cpus, around £85-£99, Celeron 2.4ghz dual core but this nuc has space for an 2.5 inch hard drive/ssd at least, due march +
Baytrail fanless motherboard kits
http://www.fanlesstech.com/2014/02/a-duo-of-celeron-j1800-motherboards.html
dual core celerons and intel quad pentiums around 1.8-2.4ghz+ all fanless, could make ideal fanless and desktop replacements since the cpus run on a low 10watts only.
ZBOX IQ01
Intel Core i7-4770T (quad-core, 2.5 GHz) (Up to 3.7 GHz
Review here: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/pcs/1305127/zotac-zbox-iq01-plus
Nice little box, looks like a netgear router on it's stand accept its a Core i7-4770T powerful mini pc, has line in/mic and headphone jack- £500-530 price tag.
Gigabyte Brix Pro 4570R + 4770R

spotted the 4570R for around £400 with shipping and the 4770R around £513, with an intel iris pro gpu are powerful enough for a steam box also.
