For anyone interested, this is a great deal and would make for an awesome mini-PC.
Add the fact that you can drop an external GPU into it (like a cheap 2nd hand GTX 1070) and this thing is amazing.
I'm super tempted to order.

Mini PC Intel Core i7 8750H

M.2 keyM NVMe External Graphics Card Stand bracket with PCIe3.0 x4 Riser Cable 25cm 50cm 32Gbs For ITX STX NUC VEGA64 GTX1080ti
R1,316.48 (with 50CM cable)

I ran the numbers and this PC with 32GB DDR4 & a Samsung 970 Evo PLUS 256GB NVME drive would cost me R12,297.

P.S. There's no thermal throttling on the CPU from the reviews I've seen, also, the PC case has an open slot built in that works perfectly for running through the ribbon cable of the GPU Stand.

P.P.S. Oh, and the external GPU bracket only runs at 4X pci-e speed but from the reviews I've seen you only lose about 10% performance on a mid-to-higher end GPU

Fake Intel NUC, the name also is a play on Intel
 
Thats big enough to make a cheap/decent enough TV screen, no tuner for some POS TV licence inspector to get wet about.
