Select among Shuttle DS57U5, Akasa euler M, Intel NUC6I3SYK

Dear all,

I want to make a fanless-small (due to room constraints) system and after researching I have come down to the following list of potential systems:
1. Shuttle DS57U5 (i5-5200U, DDR3)
2. Akasa Euler M with an i3-6100T
3. Intel NUC6I3SYK (i3-6100U) with Akasa Newton S.

I am planning to build them with a Samsung 750 Evo 250GB SDD and 8Gigs of RAM.

What I don't like about:
Shuttle-the price and the DDR3 (not sure if ddr3 is really a problem), and I don't know if it overheats
Akasa-don't know if it overheats (in summer I am afraid that this might make my room warmer :-) )
Intel NUC- only 4 USBs and many bad reviews from users regarding hardware problems.

Which one would you suggest that I should buy to run a fast (given the fanless constraints) fanless system without problems?

Thank you!
