Cheap eGPU solution needed

[DookSucks]

I need 4 screens for my mini. I don't do anything graphics intensive, but for my work flow, I need a fourth screen. It's my understanding that DisplayLink doesn't work on 10.15 (not that I wanted to go that route).

So, what do you folks suggest?

How cheap we talkin’?

I bet you can find a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU on eBay. If your Mac Mini uses TB1 or 2 you can use a TB3 eGPU with Purge Wrangler + Apple’s TB3 to TB2 Adapter.

In the end, I’m looking to pay $250ish all-in. I should have added that (1) my mini is a 2018 model and (2) I am not opposed to buying used from a reliable seller.

What do you think about using a rx470 or 480?

They're close to the RX 580 and should work fine.

What about enclosures?

You'll definitely be looking at an eBay external enclosure and GPU. Most enclosures start at $199 on their own, new.

Any suggestion regarding the enclosure?
