OP probably refers to Lenovo ThinkCentre mini PCs; they're well made, quite expandable and cheap, but if you can't find any, check out used Chromeboxes. They can be unlocked and reflashed with Coreboot in a single step, which makes them more secure aside allowing the native install of your OS of choice. Hardware quality is usually very good.

Chromeboxes aside, I've installed various Linux distros on different MiniPCs and the outcome has always been great; the only caveat is to check if your particular model does like to be used without a monitor. In some cases they didn't and refused to boot, but I solved by connecting on the HDMI port one of those cheap "virtual monitor", "dummy monitor", etc. dongles sold to perform this exact function.
