I known this us a few days old but just wanted to chime in. I've been enjoying the "1 liter/mini pc" trend in home lab/server lately. I got myself a couple of hp elitedesk mini 600 g4's for $120 each on ebay, they have an 8th gen intel i5 and support quicksync. If you're patient you can find similar mini pcs for around the $100 price range, they're generally cheaper than nuc or nuc clones and since they're big name brands (hp, lenovo, Dell, etc all have a version of them) you can find parts for them easily on the used market.

I saw some of the HP and Lenovo mini PC's on ebay, etc for a decent price. I went with the BeeLink because of the deal I got on it. $250 USD for a 10th gen i5, 16GB RAM, and a 500GB M2. Figure I would spend the bit of extra money for an more up to date proc and extra RAM. I tend to keep machines for a VERY long time so I wanted to start at a good spot.
