On some NUC models everything works very well. On others there are some
problems like X not working. Video is the usual problem, try to identify
what it has in as much detail as possible and try and find someone who
used the same video device.

Hmm. I am trying to figure out a way to make mine a bit quieter.
I wouldn't say it's _loud_, but definitely not silent.

The Intel compute sticks are pretty low power. Somewhere around
2.5W idle and around 9W under heavy CPU and GPU load. I'm not sure
how far along video on those is yet though. (And by the time you
add a hub and usb ethernet if you want to use an input device and
don't want to rely on wifi, the amps start adding up..)
