Wanted a cheap upgrade from my 2014 mac mini - I couldve went with the new mac minis with the M1 chip but I was worried about potential issues with a new processor and wanted to wait to see how those played out- Buying a new space gray mac mini is normally around $1000 - so i went with the amazon renewed option. Not only does the space gray look really sharp but it performs like a beast also - I upgraded to the big Sur OS no problem. I only use my mac for casual use but im sure this would game decently on some older titles esp with the 6 core. Anyone looking to get into the mac game on a budget should definitely take a look at this console - i wouldnt be surprised if apple doesnt release another space gray mac mini again so get this while you can. Also i bought the mac magic mouse in black and the magic keyboard in black. Looks very good. I use a corsair headset on the mac and Corsair's ICUE app works well with macos. Most 3rd party mouse and keyboards should work though. So If you already have a pc and monitor set up id recommend adding this mac mini to your set up and using your current monitor, mouse and keyboard. (ps i have a 34" lenovo monitor and had no issues with display or graphics so far)
