recommended pcs

I know this is a difficult one like asking for which stones on a pebble beach are best.....

any current small form factor dual network adapter pcs recommended with very low cpu and network latency.

this is more a shooting the breeze question....... I've looked at multi core xeons.... but they are pc sized.... or 1u sized...... I've looked at the odroid.... but it's only 1 nic.

I'm not into buying components any more (been there done that!).

I don't need a desktop sized box as use SSD, and m-sata drives and pcie network cards.

more just curious .... what do you use / what would you recommend..... simple reply of maybe manufacturer + model + CPU that works for you.... maybe it could become a sticky for a simple list of usable machines.

There are already two topic with some models that work and some that do not, but in general the "enterprise edition" PC's from Dell, HP and Fujitsu work almost always for Mesa cards. New PC's are a literal cr@p shoot, had a new Ryzen 5 system with very bad latency, brother has a Ryzen 9 system that is OK, and by now i had 2 other Ryzen 5 systems that work perfectly. The only thing that makes a difference there is the motherboard, cheap ones will not work, expensive ones do work.
This is the last one i put together some days ago, over 1000 Euro and still using an old graphic card and a low end CPU ! The prices have gone way further than NASA ever will.

I got me HP elitedesk G1 800 tiny, core i5, 8gb ram, 120gb SSD, wireless WIFI and one wired ethernet. I use the wired ethernet to communicate with mesa card and wireless for internet. The PC is the size of a hard drive, fits nicelyt in the back of the monitor (VESA mount). It has descent latency in 40’s usec. I got it from Bestbuy Canada as refurbished for $250; you might be able to source them from Amazon, Newegg, eBay …

...I'm using Odroid H2+ for running linuxcnc with ethercat...it has two ethernet ports...

However, i would also really like a hardware list... people saying "any old pc would do"....but i'd like to buy new stuff from the hardware store...i've been thinking that there might be some industrial pc's purpose built for this?
