Help me buy my new mini PC? (alien.top)

Hi Guys,

I was wondering what to buy. Main use will be some docker apps like uptime kuma and pfsense/opnsense (small 3-4 apps max, For R-Stack I have separate system).

Before that you guys should know, I am not from US and one of my friend is coming from there next month so I was thinking to get a dual lan mini pc from there.

I dont want to spend more since I already have another system which is a capable for other tasks.

My Options are from US ( Black Friday )

In my country, I have option to buy used

https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd029621-detailed-specifications-for-thinkcentre-m73-tiny-form-factor

With i3 4th gen, 1x8GB DDR3 RAM

Which is like $60-$70 here used.

I can easily get mini pcie nic from ebay to add a second lan.

So what would be ideal to buy ?

I just got the trigkey mini pc with the amd 5800u processor, it seems to be a good option since it has 8 cores/ 16 threads
