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.
I have one that I got for $130. It’s an excellent server. This is a great deal.
I could be interested, let’s talk
The design of this website resembles times and mentality contemporary to Netscape Navigator and Altavista.
…but the suggestions are good. Absolutely worth reading.
You mean a simple, no-nonsense layout without bells, whistles and trackers? I think your ‘but’ should be an ‘and’. 😆
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.
The site wouldn’t load for me, but I did manage to capture an archive:
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 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.
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.
