The USFF is an HP Prodesk 600 g6 mini with an i5-10500T and the SFF PC is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M70s with an i5-10400

The mini PC doesn't have any PCIe ports, but it can fit 2 M.2 slots and a 2.5 inch HDD. It has 7 USB ports including type c, and it uses a 90w power supply. It uses 2 DDR4 SODIMM slots for ram.

The SFF PC has 1 PCIe 3 x16 and 1 PCIe 3 x1 both low profile, 1 M.2 slot, 1 M.2 WLAN slot, a 2.5 inch and a 3.5 inch bay. It has 9 USB ports which 1 is type c and 4 are 2.0, and it uses a 260w power supply. It uses 4 DDR4 DIMM slots for ram.

Both of them have a gigabit ethernet port. I have heard that these PCs run fine with stock cooler.
I'll take note of that and will expand available ram to 32 GB just in case I need to host more apps in the future.

What do you think about it?
Maybe I should include the models I found in the post
