Hope everyone is doing ok and staying safe during these times. Wanted to get some advice on the "best" SFF build that can be bought around the $100 range. Options that I am reading up on:

- HP Elitedesk G2 with sixth generation i5
- Cheap NUC with 15watt i5
- Lenovo M93

Just looking for something to run Linux and internet, thank you in advance!
 
$100 for the whole system will be very hard to build out with new parts. Will definitely be interested if you can pull it off. Good luck though!
 
Bought a used one on here for $80 shipped for my neighbor. It was a 3020 SFF with a i5-4590... So not 6th gen, but still reasonable (especially for her light work load). I tossed in a small SSD so it boots and loads everything quick.
 
Thanks fellas. I was able to score a Pro Desk 600 pretty cheap that is running Mint very well!
