an intel n100/150 minipc is perfect, if you get an old enough build (don't ask) you can install proxmox on it and set up hass as a vm as God intended.
if you have to ask, mine was too new and had to settle for a non-LTS Ubuntu Server. it works, but I can't wait for LTS in a few months.
What’s the issue with new ones? Proxmox should work just fine on new hardware.
I’m rocking a Dell Wyse “thin client” that cost rather less than any comparable N150. It’s fanless, still gets firmware updates (via LVFS!), and takes about 5W at the wall plug.
