I should very well think so to

 

To be fair, the PC was reasonably priced thanks to @ICTDirect_Dave and one of his marvelous sales and none of the monitors I have were actually bought for me; The 4 4:3 screens were from classrooms, the 2 widescreen Samsungs were from old front office machines and the AOC was bought as a test for the music department (which they never followed through on anyway).

 

I may have spent a lot of money on the graphics card though...

I have an Intel Extreme 8th Gen NUC. Works very well, fits on the back of my monitor, very fast, 4K and has all the ports I need.

 

EDIT: I've added 10gbit Ethernet with one of these via the thunderbolt port

After spending 5 years on a Dell XPS with decent specs at the time (3rd Gen i7/8GB RAM) - it kept crashing frequently. We managed to wangle a deal with our bursar to let us purchase the components separately and build the machine ourselves to save cash (it was the only way we could get new machines!). Now we're rocking:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

RAM: 16GB Corsair DDR4

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H-CF

SSD: Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 250GB

HDD: WD 1TB

 

Went down the AMD route as in general workloads, it out-performs it's more expensive Intel counterparts.
