You need to optimize your workspace by picking a computer that can do what you need without it taking up half the area you have for it. KAMRUI has a series of mini PCs that could be just the trick. The Hyper H2 mini gaming PC is currently on sale for 45% off. That brings the price down from $840 to just $460 for a limited time. You'll be saving a full $380.
Apple's M4 CPU is at the heart of both versions of this miniaturized desktop, with 10 cores each for the CPU and GPU.

That's good news, because the memory isn't upgradeable by the user later.
