Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro PC Intel i3-8100T 3.1 GHz, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD is $105 on Ebay
Found Amazon Renewed for the same model at $104.99:

Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro PC with Intel Core i3-8100T 3.1 GHz, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD (Renewed) https://a.co/d/iUy1FKM
I have not taken the time read the entire thread, but I will drop this here, since I recently picked one of these up elsewhere, and didn't care about this issue, but some people seemed to care a lot.
The dell community thread is this one https://www.dell.com/community/Op...030#M31096 - where they point out that there was the way that they originally wanted to design it, versus the way it actually came out the door. The thread is titled "Optiplex 3060 NVMe SSD Only Works in PCIe 2.0 Mode". In other words, be careful about taking the specs on this guy literally, because the published specs are inaccurate, at least in this area.

As per Dell [dell.com], this is eligible for Windows 11

Edit: Trash website. Click 'Show all' on under Option 2 and navigate to OptiPlex

Just be wary that SSD inside will probably be an M.2 SATA and not M.2 NVME. That's my experience with the 7060 models.
I upgraded my 7060 SFF w/ a 2TB SK Hynix P31 (PCIE gen 3) just fine.

Gen 4 should be backwards compatible, I have been outta tech for a bit, however I thought m.2 sata was a thing yet diff the nvme 3/4 (like those should not work in m.2 sata) maybe I am wrong considering your post?

It depends on the port. Some are M.2 sata only. Some take both M.2 Sata and M.2 NVMe.

Probably not, unless you're going to have it front-and-center in a media shelf or something.

Most common things I've seen on these (I had a fleet of over 200) is that, if dropped, either the wifi antenna connector on the back will bend or or the plastic face will get beaten up/cracked.

I doubt physical damage like that would count as high as cosmetic-B.
