My i7 Mini with 32 gigs of ram is working great. I'm doing post but not with a ton of tracks (20 to 30 or so) and it's holding up very well. Using a Sonnet Echo Express TB2 to a TB3 adapter for HDX and a BM Intensity Pro card...along with an OWC 6 bay TB drive enclosure and a C24.

Was worried about heat but seems to be running in the 60c - 75c range with exceptions up to 85c when rendering a video file. Very acceptable. Been great so far.

Edit: fan noise is not a problem and don't hear it really. The OWC enclosure makes more noise.
