Took a gamble with this - picked up a bargain HP Z2 Mini G4 workstation. Unfortunately this is the 'base model' which doesn't accept CPUs with a TDP over 65W, but can't complain for £375.
No dGPU - just the UHD 630. Added 512GB SSD, 32Gb RAM, eBa Broadcom BT/wifi card & i9-9900 once I got it working with Clover. Dual boot with Win 10. Used my existing LG 32UD99 4K display over DisplayPort.
Everything works (as far as I can tell!).
All this for the price of a base i3 Mac mini...
Geekbench 4: 6192 SC / 29964 MC
Geekbench 5: 1344 SC / 7214 MC
Cinebench R20: 484 SC / 3659 MC
