Which PC did you get? I have a project that something like this might be perfect for.
No longer available I guess, but I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DDX1K5S1
Only complaints are that it will thermal throttle on long workloads (e.g., transcoding or facial recognition on my entire Immich library), and the SSD slots
it comes with an mSATA drive in the first slot which is 4 lanes (I think?) and supports mSATA and NVME. The second slot is slower (1 lane?) and only supports NVME. So I had to put my nicer NVME SSD in that slot if I wanted to use the included mSATA drive, but consequently the NVME speed is slower than it should be. (I could swap it to the fast slot but then I couldn't use the included mSATA drive.)
For my use case, both minor issues.
Dang, maybe I can find something similar at a similar price. Right now I have a beat little travel router that I thought about upgrading. The newest, best version of it is $120 and only has 512MB of RAM. For that price I can probably find something a lot better and install OpenWRT on it. Or at least that's my thought.
