Hardware and Performance / Should there be an entry level hardware sticky, for cheap, simple, low power?

I'm probably not the only one who is curious what the best piece of cheap hardware is for OpnSense, I've seen dozens and dozens of posts asking this for, well years, for both OpnSense and the 'other' Sense software.
Does anyone run an ongoing thread for the best, cheapo hardware?
I know of a few boxes on Amazon in the $200 US range, I know of the T620 HP thin client (though the prices have gone through the roof thanks to a few articles)
It surprises me over the past 2 or 3 years I've been reading about hardware for a firewall, the price hasn't really dropped, it still seems to be, around $200 US. No new Pi-like products or anything in the very cheap range.
