I've really been pushing these Mini PC devices lately
How's this for a €190 Mini Pc !!!!!
Running Linux -- can also run a W11 VM - no problem -- but currently > 40TB of HDD storage connected to this tiny device.
and
and a VM
So (excluding extreme gamers here) forget all your "Water cooled mega PC tower things -- try and see if you can get this type of stuff working on a €190 piece of kit !!!!!!

LOL. I'm doing pretty much the same thing but without Linux involved. I also have 40TB hanging off a little Mini PC for use as a Plex Server, general data storage, and backup target for some of my other systems with triplicate copies of all backups via StableBit Drive Pool.
