I'm getting close to my 4gb RPI 4b's mem limit ~80% and would like to migrate from it to a low power SFF thin client. What are some good options?

I run proxmox so I have a VM dedicate to HA OS with frequent backups. This allows me to also run a number of other things without worrying about inadvertently messing up my HA install

Same here, running on a HP mini pc I bought from ebay.

If you have a college or university near you, search online to see if they have a property disposition department.

I just got an HP Z2 SFF from my local university for $182. It has a Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVME SSD.
