I got this mini type PC for just under $400 no RAM but I put 32 GB in it. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Mini-PC-Six-Core-i7-8750H-9MB-Cache-Win-10-Mini-Desktop-PC-HDMI-WiFi/32964138292.html?spm=2114.search0604.3.1.5f357874svAtKY&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10065_10130_10068_10890_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10307_537_536_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_52,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=e9adea67-68f2-4241-bafa-d058b0564719-0&algo_pvid=e9adea67-68f2-4241-bafa-d058b0564719&transAbTest=ae803_3

Installed Ubuntu server and it just takes up all the RAM something when the Intel stick had before that only had 2GB of RAM.
Put a 1GB WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD in it for it's OS. Got it running on solar power like I did that Intel stick.

Now I wish would of spent a little more for the other i7 they had. It took less power and was faster. But this one I have is working good.

The one I have looks about the same size as the Islay Canyon' NUC.

The one I got has a i7-6785R can look that up to see what else has it. I did and can find it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Partaker-Skylake-Desktop-Computer-I7-6785R/dp/B07MW3RK9N

They have the other one there too with the i9-8950HK cost a lot more but 6 cores and I guess uses less power then what I got.
