Intel seems to think so too, and with their latest NUC 11 Extreme Kit aka Beast Canyon, has given us a glimpse of how the experience of building a gaming computer could be different in their world.

For those not in the know, NUC is short for “Next Unit of Computing” and the NUC Kit series (there are also other NUC variants) is Intel’s obsession with putting full-sized PC power in a mini-PC form factor.
