    For this price, just get an Intel NUC (one with like an i5 or better). They’re cheaper than this is on ebay.

    They might not have 32GB of memory, but I’m honestly not sure why you’d need that much for a small PC like this.

      Running multiple virtual machines might be one use for all that RAM. I completely agree about going with a NUC (or similar x86-64) unless power consumption is a concern. I stopped buying SBCs once Intel platforms started competing on the low end.

      I googled a cheap Intel NUC and saw power consumption numbers of 15w to 40w. Thats quite a bit of juice (and heat) for small applications.
