Any old dell optiplex with 8g and a 2TB ssd will run
you can run bitcoind on much shitter hw, its just a question of how good will it run :)
I picked up a little mini pc over a year ago for around $100. Got start9 running and it hasn’t given me any issues so far. Highly recommend this approach over the raspi
