    There are a lot of alternative tiny/mini/micro/NUC like PCs available now.

    When intel introduced the NUC it was fairly unique.

      Totally! There are a ton of used workstations on eBay for cheap too. I got a Lenovo M715q with a Ryzen 5 APU for under $100USD. I can’t afford not to have a garage desktop at that price.

        I started picking up Used Tiny / Mini / Micro systems. I currently have a Lenovo M910q with an i7 7th gen running my frigate dockers. I got it from a local second had PC shop, but you can find them on eBay and Facebook market place often. Asus makes a NUC like box, and there are Aliexpress brands like beelink etc.

        A lot of options.
