Basically what it says in the title. I did a lot of searching in Internet. I think small form factor computers are mt best bet. But I still feel they are costly for my purpose.

I am going to be running some ansible playbooks periodically on the machine. SBCs i looked at either had very high specs for this use case and thus higher price or they had other fratures i dont want like - wifi, graphics card etc.

I am preferring enterprise hardware because this would eventually be used in business where people will not settle for anything less.

Your use case sounds like something a nuc or sff from minisforum could handle, but if you want "cheap" and "small enterprise," both ambiguous terms, the supermicro superservers should fit the bill.

Having run a few SuperMircos in an enterprise they do fit this bill nicely. If one dies you have at least one or two to pull
