I looked in to software called "Virtual here" at one point, which allows a host machines USB ports to be shared over a network and appear as local USB connections on the client machine, but you still need a reasonably quick "something" out at the mount and I was not sure how reliable it would be.
About twelve months ago I went Dunk's way with an i5 NUC which is now running Voyager for image capture. I could probably get away with an i3 but I wanted the quicker one for faster plate solving. That has worked flawlessly since I bought it. I connect to it over wifi using Teamviewer to fiddle as required (Monitoring through the night is generally via Voyagers web based dashboard) and there is a file replication app available for the NAS I have in the house, which means that about 20 seconds after an image is downloaded off the camera I have three copies of it in different locations, one being my image processing machine.
