Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight (linux.community)

Anyone have recommendations for hardware to run Moonlight on a 4K TV? I want to play games on my PC, but I don't want to isolate myself in the office. I imagine a mini-PC would be more appropriate than something like a RPi, but does anyone have specific recs? I have never really bought a device like this. My laptop is not suited for the task so "use an old laptop" isn't a good rec for me really. And yes this relevant to linux since the server and client will be running linux. ;)

I have bazzite running on an HP EliteDesk 705 G5 mini PC with a 3400G in it that I got used from eBay for pretty cheap, a little over $100. It handles 1440p 120Hz, it's max output resolution at 120Hz, and 4k 60Hz just fine with steam remote play from my desktop on LAN. It also does up to GameCube emulation really well if you're into that kind of thing. I'd really only consider upgrading from this if I wanted 4K 120Hz in the future, or if HDR becomes worth it, but the 1440p 120Hz experience is great.
