    Also PE4C+Deskmini 110 seems to be a good choice too. But afaik PE4C has no official PCIE 3.0 support which is going to be a possible bottoleneck.

    PE4C v4.1 works great with the Skull canyon NUC @ PCIe 3.0 x4 . But you need to be on the latest BIOS, otherwise it runs at PCIe 3.0 x1.

    Even any TB3 eGPU setup will work. People have used the Razer Core as well.

    Check the TechInferno forums, i have seen a thread there regarding the same.

    Here is the Thunder 2 / Thunder 3 Implementation :

    The TB3 HDK is basically the Thunder 3. My TB3 HDK shows up as the Akitio Thunder 3 in the system, after some firmware shenanigans.

    Check mikegrok's posts for the NUC + PE4C v4.1 :
