    If anyone is interested, I have a lot of HP elite desk g2s with core i5 6500t processors, 8gb ram and 256gb ssds.

    Work was throwing them away and so I turned my trunk into the trash can with the it directors permission.

    I’ll be glad to let them go for $75 a piece.

    The design of this website resembles times and mentality contemporary to Netscape Navigator and Altavista.

    …but the suggestions are good. Absolutely worth reading.

    Good article. I’ve been happy with my Lenovo M93p’s for some time now. They seem to be very comfortable running Ubuntu.

    I love my HP Prodesk 600 G3 DM. Bought it for €90 and it runs Proxmox and my containers perfectly.

      I was surprised they’re available on ebay, but are pricey. So that’s because of nostalgia, right? Are they good for doing any real-world tasks still?

      Someone else from my era.

      I seem to remember that they put out a PDP-11 on a chip at one point. Personally, I always wanted my own microVax.

    Detailed article.

    I’ll just add, I recently bought an Optiplex with a 7500t. It was just over $100, but the Gen 7 Intel means it has quicksync which is great for a media server that needs to transcode.

    Funny timing.

    Just yesterday, I bought a Lenovo micro PC off eBay for $30 to repurpose as a Chromebox for my kids to use for schoolwork.

    I started getting mini PCs when raspberry pi prices were peaking. My favorite mini PC I have was a bit expensive at around $200 CAD at the time. Its an hp elitedesk 705 g4 with a Ryzen 5 pro 2400g. Runs just about any server I need and does great for audio recording in Windows.

    I also snagged a lenovo mini thinkcentre for about $100 CAD. It’s a bit older with a 4th gen i5 ( I think) and 8gb of ddr3. It sits in the data closet for contract work that I do and has all my work stuff, office 365, Visio, affinity designer, cloud connections.

    I use a remote connection with my main PC ( running pop!_os Linux) to connect to either of the two instead of buying extra monitors or any peripherals. At the very least, It’s been a fun experiment.

    I researched a bit ago and had no luck, but maybe this is the place to ask. Is there any business mini PC that has a powerful enough PSU to add a graphics card? Specifically an RX 580.

    Wasn’t sure what they were gonna list, but good to see they listed what I’m thinking of getting: a Raspberry Pi.
