Libreelec also runs a Jellyfin transcoding server that I use to watch stuff afar, and it can playback literally anything you throw at it
Batocera can emulate anything- this is a very powerful machine that doesn't really skip a beat, all the way up to as far as I've tested is original xbox games
Bought the barebones and put 32gb of ram in it, a 512gb m2 for libreelec because the files are hosted on a NAS, and a 256gb SSD for batocera- bigger file games are also hosted on the NAS
As far as the fan noise- during playback of video, it's silent. During emulation, it will be noticeable, but isn't horrible. During trancodes, again, noticible but not bad. I also have it right next to me in the room, so if I were to put it in a cabinet below the tv, it probably would be unnoticeable completely.
What I had before was an ATOPNUC 1135G7- does the trick, but I really wanted something super powerful- this was it, and this thing doesn't quit.
Also to clarify, I have the NAB6, not 9
I'm using a special 3D printed lid for the NAB6 that allows for the M.2 slot to be used with an adapter to a PCIE slot. I've got 8 hard drives hooked up. Seriously, you've gotta give this a look:

I love this little box - I've ran it 24/7 for 10 months.

This has very limited internal hard drive space. Just one M2 and one 2.5 inch space. You could get another external USB array to attach to it which could work but may not b be what you are looking for.
More I/O, the 2.5gbe Nic's, etc. If you need the I/O and bandwidth, then this is better. You would need to know that up front, and are probably not looking at this if that's the case since enterprise gear off eBay and self-builds can assist those functions

Quiet, low power, great for emulation, and you can run multiple OS on them. Having window and Linux on a machine is very nice to have.
A common issue is the lack of bios updates. Definitely not a deal breaker but just the main complaint I see online.
