Is there a good reason not to buy a $60 mini PC and install Start9 OS on it?
Discussion
This sounds really fun.
yeah, just looking around on ebay and there are tons of old small dell PCs
Can’t think of one as long as it has adequate SSD space.
1TB ssd is only $40 so it not too expensive
Why you don't use a raspi for this? ☺️
mini pc is the way. i use mostly nuc's over here. and also check for energy efficiency and noise.
depends on the purpose test/prod - if looking for portable compactself owned hw - bulky bigger used one can far cheaper but low perf
