Another decent “the device was not originally intended for this” discount you can find for HomeLab devices is ChromeBox.

Years ago I grabbed an inordinate amount of used Chromeboxen on ebay (some Celeron, mostly i7, Haswell), flashed with MrChromeBox, upgraded SSD and RAM. Had double digit nodes in a local K8s. They aren't going to run LLMs, but damn great at Homelab containers/services still.
