Buy an used server with ECC Ram, can get those with a reasonably modern CPU and 16gb ecc ram for ~$200
old servers or servers in general have significant power drain + are generally loud as they are designed to sit in datacenters
a good compromise might be some of the workstation models, they run quieter but still use a lot of power
as suggested by others look at alternatives to nuc that you could get cheaper, possibly with two ssds.
Not a horrible option is also refurbished laptop, you can usually get tons of thinkpads that businesses cycle out, gives you silent run&built in ups

ECC RAM is important
