Hi I am currently struggling with deciding between Pis (all variants e.g. Orange Pi) and Nucs as I can't find any for a reasonable price. Do you guys have any recommandation for me? German/European Stores maybe? I am looking for the best efficency to performance ratio for a low price. Basically just small computing units that I can cluster ideally in a 1U Rackmount.

Just small demanding services as a pihole, pfsense, openvpn. Stuff that permanently needs to run. Maybe a website or a minecraft server but probably not.

I was actually looking for the orange pi (learned about them from ltt) but I can't find any rackmount (I want everything nice and clean in there) and reasonable prices.

Also I don't think I can use raspberry pi rackmount can I?
