An increasingly widely used alternative for Bitcoin nodes are the reuse of microform corporate boxes with (typically) an i3/i5, and 8Gb of memory with whatever ssd storage you want to drop in
These are widely available second hand and extremely reliable workhorses that have reached their writedown eol at 3y - Dell and Lenovo would be my picks
They’re superior to Pi’s in part due to processing grunt, but predominantly because storage is not via USB and they have rock solid reliability
Ketan has a solid discussion with Stephan Livera on this last year
I have a spare one I’m happy to ship to you from Brizzy if you’d like to add that into your mix 🤝
