Comment on Tv box recommendations?
somegadgetguy@lemdro.id 11 months agoI’m back to a full computer again too, and if you don’t have a laptop handy, the new little mini PCs are surprisingly affordable too. If you don’t want to build a raspberry pi.

Which mini-pc would you recommend? RPis are not sold here officially and thus very expensive.

RPi’s probably not a great option anyway. Too low-powered for streaming video.
I’d probably recommend one of the used USFF office PCs w/ X86 processors commonly for sale on eBay for cheap. Bonus: These are the same ones people will recommend for low power homeservers so you could have it running those as well.

What about a chromebox flashed with some linux os? Nice and cheap mini x86 pc. Just picked one up for 35 bucks with an i7 6th gen, just hoping it uses sodimm and isnt integrated on the mobo.

Not sure what you mean by a “Chromebox”?

The Dell Optiplex micro form factor might be a good option. You can get them cheap on the second hand market (at least here in the US).
