Saved a HP #EliteDesk 705 G5 #SFF from going into the trash, with a #Ryzen 3 #3200G. Guess what will become of it? Yep, a #Steam #Machine for my kid 😁

Any advice?
I picked up an #elitedesk g1 800. Installed #linux mint #xfce and tried doing heroic launcher for console option for nephew. I have some ROMs that I wanted to set up as well. Not really seeing a clean way to get emulator play to work.

Few dislikes...
Retroarch has failed me here
And heroic isn't true fullscreen on boot.
Some games can't play but likely hardware because they work when I jump PCs

Really just want to get a good frontend on boot for PC games and ROMs

it boots... the video doesn't show it, but it sees all three drives. now trying to get it to legacy boot an ISO off that ancient 4GB thumbdrive stuck in the back port.

my friend printed up the drive tray, which doesn't use screws and just rests in place with the hollow legs over the screw terminals for the original caddy. it does accommodate the second NVMe stick though.

I may put a lil foam on top of the SSD to smush against the lid and press it a little more firmly into place.

one of the solid legs rests on the CR2032 battery socket, the other on the mobo where there are no SMD components - there are a couple vias, though.

this model was made for the gen4 #EliteDesk Mini, I have a gen5 but those two generations are mostly the same when it comes to the drive caddy. #miniPC #DIY

I have an HP #EliteDesk 705 G3 (4core 3.1-3.8GHz 28nm AMD A12-9800E GB: 656s 1512m) with 16GB RAM. I've been trying to find a smaller, lighter, more power efficient replacement. I was looking at the #Radxa Zero 2 Pro (6core Armv8 1.8-2.2GHz 12nm GB: 375s 1133m) 4GB RAM. Then I remembered I have a Pixel 3a (GB: 367s 1221m) 4GB RAM, and I just got a $99 OnePlus 6T (GB: 524s 1747m) 8GB RAM. So it's hard to justify the #RadxaZero2Pro #SBC just for #AlpineLinux. What would you do in this situation?

My #hp #elitedesk finally arrived and i'm absolutely loving it! Small, quiet and upgradable. This is exactly what i was searching for

Due to #dhl, my #hp #elitedesk arrives way later than expected. I'm already so excited to upgrade it. Bought it nearly #barebones and i'm planning to equip it with a 2TB nvme for main storage, 2TB 2.5" hdd for backups, an intel core i5 (not quite sure which one rn), and 32GB of ram (64GB if #mixtral8x7b runs smooth that way).

Mit #HP #EliteDesk habe ich auch sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht.

I couldn't help myself, and bought another one 👉👈
This time it's an #Elitedesk 800 G1 featuring an i5 4590T (4 cores), for 50€.

These things are so cheap, it's compulsive buying at this point.
I'm currently at 5, I need to sell 1 or 2.

@simplenomad my preference for #homeassistant is with #docker now in a second hand #Elitedesk that I got recently very cheep but really impressive machine!

Inspired by @ATLChris 🙌 but don’t get me into the promox, please 😅

My 4 HP minis, used for various #homelab shenanigans.

From bottom to top:
- HP #Prodesk 400 G1 - Core i3 2c/4t - 16GB
- HP #Prodesk 400 G2 - Celeron 2c/2t - 8GB
- HP #Prodesk 400 G3 - Pentium 2c/2t - 16GB
- HP #Elitedesk 800 G3 65w - Core i5 4c/4t - 32GB

I cannot insist enough about how perfect these machines are for tinkerers like us.
Low power (7w in idle) but powerful, compact, and cheap as hell on the used market. (I scored the 3 lower ones for less than 50€ each)

Pictured are the specs for my current workstation. I haven't upgraded because I haven't had to, as this does pretty much what I'd like it to do.

Thinking about playing around with some HP Z series workstations, as I have a few in "my collection".

I have a Z400 and maybe a few others. I plan on experimenting with using #Intel #xeon processors in business class desktops, like the Dell #Optiplex and HP #EliteDesk, too.

I have a few Core 2 Quad era Dell Precision and HP workstations.

So many computers, so little time!
