With all due respect my friend another thing one has to worry about is how well the mini PC is shielded. I bought a $550 (USD) mini for my Internet computer. When installing software I was not near my music studio and it worked perfectly. But when I moved the mini into my studio the mini was extremely noisy, i.e. unusable. Fortunately I got my money back on it. Note that I have two desktop computers, one for the Internet and one for music, in my studio and neither of them are noisy.

I also have a $170 (USD) mini for my wife and it works just fine but again it is no wheres near my music studio.

YMMV
