Windows Hardware recommendations

My current kodi box is starting to act up, Random reboots and non-blue screen crashes. Last time I took a model from the main HW thread, But was not too impressed. It lasted me about 18 months. When I rebuilt it I reaslized all the drivers weren't even resisted to MS.

My first box was an ACER revo which was great, but was getting old and had issues streaming Netflix, I replaced it with a Tronsmart machine (200ish$), which worked well for a while but I tend to need to reboot it every couple days where my first only needed it once a month for MS patching. This doesn't include the random reboots mid show. I've done a complete rebuilt and its still acting up which makes me think its aging cheap hardware.

Can anyone suggest a decent inexpensive machine(300-350ish Can$) to run Win10 & Kodi. I use the Aeon Nox skin because I find its lighter and have gotten used to it. I'd rather stick to a windows box for simplicity. The Tronsmart only had a 32 GB SSD drive which I find a little small, and I had to juggle space to patch it. Last requirement: CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON. while the other thread has tons of great suggestions every time i look for it online its out of stock.
