The node I'm using to teach my kids with. They are finally old enough. Wanted something dedicated with a screen they could use. Long story, I think it'll finish in ~2 weeks (not 17 per the photo).
Total cost: $0
(100% of the parts were just collecting dust in my basement, now recycled)
HW: External 2TB USB 2.0, Zotac w/ 1.1 GHz Intel Celeron N3450, 18" Dell LCD monitor @ 1280 x 1024 w/ 3.85 Gb of sweet sweet useable RAM.
SW: Windows 10 Home and a borked unetbootin bootloader from me trying to purge MSFT and install Lubuntu 18...no dice. No user friendly distros played nice with the SATA controller.
Teaching kids - this is the way.
Next step: install a Debian on that same machine, with GUI, nice user friendly, they will learn to use Linux.
