Comment on Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server?
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 days agoI’m shocked with what I’ve been able to do with an old Dell SFF desktop.
Upgraded to 48GB of ram it’s running ESXi hosting a couple Debian VMs, a DietPi VM, 3 Windows VMs, a massive data drive, idles under 20w and peaks at 80w when I’m doing video conversion.
At this point I’m shopping for some old mini PCs to run the VMs as independent servers because their idle power is so low.

I’m looking for a couple more Optiplex 7020 SFF or similar and just get rid of all the heavy equipment.
