    I guess it really depends on your area. I hear stories that it’s the bee’s knees and then other ones where the signal is so congested, especially if using a mvno. Personally I’m sticking with 4g, in my area 5g is about the same in speed unless you want to stay up til like 4am to get a decent boost.

    Regardless of where you get your secondhand drives do yourself a favor and make sure they package them correctly (antistatic bag, 1-2inches of bubblewrap and a cardboard box) by messaging for that. That’s my biggest complain when I brought used drives. Think Serverpartdeals and goharddrive are the main eBay sellers with great reps but I sadly haven’t done business with them so can’t verify


  • I’d go the mini PC/sff route, on eBay for instance you can get like a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 for around 50-80$ depending if you want a drive and adapter included think that’s the best bang for the buck. I would’ve recommended buying a 20-30$ onn android TV box but seeing how restricted android tv is from another post kinda made me rethink that.

    Edit: also if you can wait like a year more I bet the market will be flooded with cheap mini/sff desktops.
