ThinkCentre M900 Cheap and Capable Mini PC! 

Oh wow, I should I shopped around more on the m900! I do still think its a good deal at 120, but yeah for the price you found its a no-brainer

I ended up just slotting in a 128GB ssd for the boot drive, and for now a 1TB M.2 NVMe WD black for a fast storage drive to keep all the Jellyfin movies. But before that I used it for 6 months as a basic Linux desktop running Mint and it worked great for that.

do you like jellyfin? i am thinking of giving it a try for my collection

@@BrandonStecklein I do so far. Its not perfect but since I have poor internet that can be unstable at times I can use it with or without the internet going. The i5-6500T is probably overkill for that task but the important thing I was told was 6th gen onwards has intel quicksync included with the onboard graphics in the event that encoding on the fly is required. I re-encode everything with handbrake ahead of time so I rarely need that feature.

this PC does not have any thunderbolt ports

I picked up an internal antenna that I am going to install this week when I have some time and see if the included m.2 wifi module is working

Yours probably does not have an internal Wi-Fi module, they don't always come with one and I have added it myself on some...

I like it as a server, but I think it would also work well as a retro emulation box connected to a TV or for watching your legitimately obtained movie collection...

yes but only an m.2 ssd

That’s very cheap considering what actual pc’s or laptops cost. I got my i7, 512gb, 16gb ram for 200

that’s insanely cheap, lol

for computer/electronics type stuff at least

@@galleryofrogues I retract my statement it is cheap for a reason. I ordered mine from amazon and it was old, rusted and came with the wrong power cord. I immediately returned it. Would not recommend getting it from Amazon.

Ebay it is $80 max
