Heho, I personally run a Dell 7030 micro for a similar purpose; There is basically a model from each 'big' vendor, and as outlined they are _really_ cheap as used units on ebay.
There is a series called 'tiny mini micro' by "ServeTheHome" on our favorite non-free video site which goes over a range of these different devices. Something like the "Lenovo M90n-IoT" might also be worthwhile to look at (even though it comes with an Intel CPU).

It's the bigger brother of that found in the APU systems. The stock configuration usually has 4GB of RAM in them, with a single re(4) 1GBps NIC, and a 16GB mSATA SSD. I haven't had any issues out of mine, which I got for I believe $50 on eBay. They seem to be fairly easy to acquire. Another $25 for a power brick (which amazingly has had no issues either), and you're good to go. These boxes have eDPI display outputs, and optionally have either an RS-232 serial port or VGA output, along with USB 2 and USB 3. They come with an embedded version Windows 10, but I've had no issues running OpenBSD 6.8-7.0 on it, 9front, or LInux. IIRC, it supports EFI booting, but I've only used legacy BIOS boot. If you get one from eBay, I would recommend opening it and verifying that all the internal screws are tight. I had some loose either from shipping or carelessness on the mSATA hold-down and a few other places. Good luck.
