Not affiliated with HP or CDW but I thought this might fit some use cases for people here for $300

The cpu is equivalent to an i3 but the GPU is better than the iGPU in i5s.
It is ultra slim factor that can be vesa mounted behind a tv/monitor and it doesn’t look bad sitting with audio equipment either.
Part of HP enterprise product line so comes with 3 years on site service.
I wouldn’t try to do video transcoding or DSD conversions but room correction eq should run just fine.
