Deal Details
Minisforum (LINK [minisforum.com]) has some refurbished X500 mini PCs in stock that seem to be pretty decent for the price and form factor. These should be great for light gaming at low settings or a HTPC since they have upgradable RAM, (2) SSDs, and a 2.5" SSD empty slot. There is a large fan for great cooling and the BIOS allows RAM allocation adjustments for better graphics performance. As far as I can tell Windows is preinstalled as the X500 models all include Windows unless you choose the barebones model which is sold out.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (6 cores, 12 threads), 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD $219
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (8 cores, 16 threads), 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD $229
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (8 cores, 16 threads), 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD $269

Upgradable:
1 x M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD slot (512GB installed)
1 x M.2 2242 SATA 3.0 SSD slot (empty)
2 x DDR4 SODIMM RAM slots (16GB or 32GB dual channel installed)
1 x 2.5" SATA 3.0 drive slot (empty)
1 x M.2 2230 WiFi + Bluetooth (WiFi 6 + Bluetooth 5.1 installed)

Rear IO:
1 x HDMI 2.0
1 x Display Port
2 x Gigabit Ethernet
4 x USB 3.1 (Type A)
1 x Kensington lock slot

Left IO:
1 x Micro SD card slot

Word of caution on these. Got one myself early last month (a Minisforum refurb). I am not sure how a PC that couldn't possibly be that old looked so beat up. I get it, it's a refurb, but it was like a full grade below a Best Buy "fair" condition PC.

Upon looking at this MinisForum refurbished unit, I found this UM690S (6900HX/16GB/512GB): https://refurbished.minisforum.co...7437125921 for $221 after using coupon code: DEAL18OFF (limited time). I took a chance and ordered one of this.
