There are a lot of alternative tiny/mini/micro/NUC like PCs available now.

When intel introduced the NUC it was fairly unique.

Totally! There are a ton of used workstations on eBay for cheap too. I got a Lenovo M715q with a Ryzen 5 APU for under $100USD. I can’t afford not to have a garage desktop at that price.

Got any recommendations? I'm still within the return policy of a NUC I just bought.

I started picking up Used Tiny / Mini / Micro systems. I currently have a Lenovo M910q with an i7 7th gen running my frigate dockers. I got it from a local second had PC shop, but you can find them on eBay and Facebook market place often. Asus makes a NUC like box, and there are Aliexpress brands like beelink etc.

A lot of options.

I'm shopping for servers right now and was distressed at the NUC situation (news to me). 4 months later your comment and this link are still helpful. Thanks!

Serve the home has a bunch of reviews on really powerful AMD mini PCs now as well.
