I came home after being away for a week and found that my Minisforum UM773 Lite won’t power on at all. No lights, no signs of life. I went through the usual troubleshooting steps: tried a different AC adapter, removed RAM, reset CMOS, etc. It’s dead dead.

The good news is all of my other components seem fine, and I’d like to reuse them in my next Mini PC. Current parts:

• Kingston KC3000 512GB SSD
• 16GB (2x8GB) Crucial DDR5 4800MHz RAM.

My Mini PC is hooked up to my living room TV and mainly runs my Jellyfin server plus retro gaming emulators.

I’m looking for something around the $500 range that can use my existing components. A barebones system would be ideal.

Any suggestions?
