Why stop at $70?
Charge the useful idiots as much as they're willing to pay!
Try searching for dell optiplexes on ebay and see if any of them suit your needs for a better price.

Oh god, don't waste your money on a mini PC unless you specifically have a reason to get something small.
You're literally paying more for worse hardware because of the form factor.
Instead, try getting a used Dell Optiplex. You can buy them at walmart for under $100.
Also, don't kid yourself into thinking your server is going to be more popular than it is. If it's just for you, then there's no way you're going to exhaust its resources unless you're specifically trying to.
great value
