Intel integrated graphics is pretty phenomenal for ~5 user HTPC setups and NUC’s are basically the best Intel products ever. Nothing better than it just working out of the box.
What NUC has a 3.5" bay?
Any Intel NUC(the small 4x4 ones) 8th gen or forward will fit the bill.
I’m not sure I understand what your question is. You are asking why to not torrent, but rather stream…but in relation to the services to setup yourself…
If you have decent internet…zero. why would you start to pay for services to get the same content you are already getting with a tiny bit less effort.
Try adding a HDMI dummy plug. Older Intel NUC’s (8th gen and earlier) have an issue that’s fixed (but always seems to come back…) where they don’t like functioning headlessly (without a display connected.)
Edit: Also, make sure your BIOS is uptodate.
