Sorry for the dredge on this, but if I had £200 ish to spend how do I spec it?

WFH/browsing/making garmin stuff/ tv/ doing some R & python

Edit
Have a monitor and Bluetooth keyboard etc

So so many options on eBay tbh
You'll want at least an 8th gen intel (which will give you native W11 support, you can bodge earlier gens to work though)
Search for a combo of the following:
Dell / HP / Lenovo + SFF
Save budget back to max the RAM and buy yourself some more storage (most only come with 256gb )
Something like this would do:

I have one of these (but heavily upgraded) connected to my TV. It's perfect, I would recommend once you find something suitable though search for that model number to see if you can get it cheaper. I only paid £85 for mine.

I've still got a GT 1030 low profile GFX card,(which would fit in the above) spare if you want it for cheap.

Thanks for the link and the update!
If I go down this path I want to be able to stick it behind a monitor are they small enough to do that?
