Thin clients off eBay. I picked up a Dell Wyse with 8gb memory, 4 cores, 16g emmc, and a 256G M.2 SSD for about $40. Includes the case, power supply, power button, etc. Still uses very little power. Install the x86_64 version of dietPi on that and it's been Rock solid running my docker projects.
Also picked up and HP T620 with similar specs. Haven't started using it yet but I expect similar results.
Much better deal than RPi and for most use cases equal or better able to do the job.
Wow, that was a very good deal! I've just had a look and for those specs 100€ are not enough here in Europe. For that price I've bought some Fujitsu Futro that are not even near those specs (2/4GB RAM, 8GB SSD).
Does lol like the prices have gone up a tad, but I just looked and could still pick up a Wyse 5060 with 8gb memory for about 33 USD shipped. Doesn't seem to include power supply or ssd so add about $10usd each for those maybe $55 or so.
Can't say what prices are like in Europe tho.
I've got a t620, and am using it as a firewall. It has aes-ni so I can generate certs. Plus it has a pcie slot, so I threw a nic in there. Its powerful for around the same price as a raspberry pi is going these days. I think I got it for about $80 plus $10 or $15 for the nic.
