Making a little vpin station, looking for a good mini pc

Title says it all. I'm new to vpin and have been playing Zen Pinball 2 on my PS Vita for a while and I'm looking to upgrade to a bigger vpin setup, since I'm absolutely addicted to pinball but can't get a full machine lol.

I'm just gonna be running 2 monitors. An old dell 4:3 for the top and then I just need to find a decent new one for the vertical/cabinet (that's problem number 2). But, more importantly I need to find a decent mini pc. I have a few options here and I'm curious on your thoughts! My price range is generally sub $400 CAD, but I'm willing to maybe pay more if it's worth it ($530ish).

Options from what I've found online (pics added):

  • ACEMAGIC K1 ($399 on sale)
  • KAMRUI H1 ($530 on sale) (what I'm leaning towards)
  • BeeLink Ser5 ($539 on sale).

Thoughts? I'm only really planning to run 1080p/60fps, nothing more. I just want it to be nice and smooth. If you guys have other suggestions from the ones I have posted, let me know! :)
