Seems like this would be a frequent question, so please point me to the right location if I missed it.
Apple's 2012 quad-core Mac Mini was great, and I was sad to see them drop the quad-core option. I basically would like to get as close to that design as possible, but with newer, current-generation components. I've read through the CustoMac Mini and CustoMac Mini Deluxe pages but neither one really fits. The CustoMac Mini utilizes a dual-core CPU (rather than quad) and a bulkier case than I'm looking for. The Mini Deluxe uses a quad-core CPU but is larger/bulkier still. Can somebody recommend components that would get close to the size of Apple's 2012 mini, but using a newer quad-core CPU?
Looking for a design I can run El Capitan on (at least initially) as I have no current interest in moving to Sierra.
