I run proxmox so I have a VM dedicate to HA OS with frequent backups. This allows me to also run a number of other things without worrying about inadvertently messing up my HA install

Same here, running on a HP mini pc I bought from ebay.
If you have a college or university near you, search online to see if they have a property disposition department.
I just got an HP Z2 SFF from my local university for $182. It has a Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVME SSD.
Nice! Ill give this a shot, as I have something like 5 unis near me
