Hi guys, after a bit of researching I have found a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny in my country for about 170 euros (used). Apparently I can get buyer’s safety for 7 euros and delivery for 1 euro (on a well-known craigslist-like website, offered by the website).
As I was writing this I found a 300 eur variant of the same pc with a i5-8400T (6c6t, 1.7ghz base, 3.3 boost, UHD 630), but I found the deal above which, in my head, sounds like a much better deal (both are used).
Specs:
i3-8100T - 4c4t, 3.1ghz base - UHD Graphics 630 (AFAIK great for transcoding?)
8gb DDR4 RAM (would upgrade to at least 16, or even 32gb)
256gb SSD (NVMe, shipped with it)
would get a 1tb ssd (2.5’ SATA. Performance is not a big issue, would be streaming movies and hosting some disk-easy services.)
I would use it for hosting Proxmox, and on it:
- Jellyfin
- Handbrake
- Bitwarden (or vaultwarden)
- Samba share (direct access to drive(s))
- CUPS for printers
- PiHole
- and things like that, my brain isn’t functioning at the moment.
Can someone please check if this is a good deal and if everything would “fit” on it? Thanks to everybody in advance!
I have the 8400T with 16 gigs of ram. Most of the same apps but also a home assistant VM and frigate. Cou usage is between 6 and 12% typically, I think it hit 30 once
I also like Proxmox, it’s a great product
