[SOLVED] Help to reuse NUC parts for a bigger system?

[AirBreather]

Hello all,

I've recently found out that the heating up issues associated with the small form factors of Intel NUCs was (likely) due to dust build up, and cleaning would require some rather finicky dissembly. Instead of that, I'm planning on turning the NUC into a (distant, low-demand use) secondary system and hoping that some parts can be used in a larger bare-bones form factor.

The parts that I hope to reuse are:

RAM: (@ https://www.directdial.com/ca/item/900853 ; "Device Supported: Notebook")
Visiontek
1 x 16GB
PC4-17000
DDR4
2133MHz
260-pin
SODIMM

HARD DRIVE - M.2:
Samsung 850 EVO MZ-N5E250BW
250 GB Internal Solid State Drive

HARD DRIVE - notebook/laptop size.

Can anybody advise the largest bare-bones form factor I can use the above parts in? Ideally, I could use all three, but I'd be okay with just being able to reuse the RAM.

Thanks.

The RAM is the actual sticking point.

That SODIMM is for a laptop style board.
The drives are no problem.

Thank you. I'm assuming that to find a motherboard that fits the RAM above, it would need to have 260 pin slot availability (as 288 pin slots are for desktop sized RAM?)?

Correct.
