#elitedesk — Public Fediverse posts

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?

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).

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.

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)
