Alright nerds. I bought a old HP Elite 3800 desktop off eBay. Ordered some upgrades mostly from eBay: a new GeForce graphics card, 24G RAM, 500G SSD for OS (Linux Mint), a secondary 2T SSD for Bitcoin Core, and a i7-3770 to upgrade the CPU.

Not top of the line but very functional and zippy for what I am going to ask it to do. Got the whole kit for around $300 which is a lot cheaper than a Pi setup for a node and I get a daily driver on top. I still have to put everything together and get it running but it’s a lot easier than people think

Just got a Mac mini i7 up and running with 1tb. Set up with Linux and umbrel. Pretty smooth process minus taking forever and glitching out while doing initial sync. Love finding purpose for these older machines.
