are there any older ex-office mini PCs like the elitedesk, optiplex, thinkstation, etc models that can fit a 3.5" drive? Not looking for anything new and thus expensive, just want some old junker (6/7/8th gen Intel) that can host some light stuff. thanks
If you can find them the “mini” format Elitedeak has a 3.5" internal bay along with an optical, for what it’s worth. It’s not as small as a “micro” but it’s smaller than a tower, and at my hearby Uni, they go for the same (cheap) prices.
