I've actually been looking. But anything I would consider a significant upgrade from what I have would be considerably more than $500. I'm not going to waste money on anything less than 128Gb and I9. Plus I'm not convinced the bus speeds on those minis is apples to apples when it comes to the same maxed-out ram/processors on full-size motherboards. I'd also want PCIe M.2 disk speeds.
There's no doubt those minis are great replacements for even high-end general-use PCs. I'm just not convinced they'd be the answer for intensive compilation duties.
