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

    Thing is - “mini” PCs old enough to have 3.5 slots are probably way too old to have decent CPUs.

      I have a PC from 2006 it is not “mini” and it has an awful CPU… :(

      What would be a good used upgrade with 4x 3.5 bays?
