Any recommendations you can make? I feel like any mini PC with a more modern chip that has NUC would be above my budget.

The title says it all: I’m looking for a Mini PC to install Linux on and run it as a 24/7 gaming server. Games that friends and I would be playing include ARK, Conan Exiles, and Valheim, among others, probably no more than 10 at a time. Based on the recommendations from each game, I’ll probably...

Thank you! I decided to go with a more powerful (and better) PSU.

Thanks for all the feedback! Yes, I wish that I could get the i5, but I think I'll be plenty happy with the i3. With that said, I decided to go with the Radeaon 6850. Thanks again!
