  “The white PCB is for prototypes only, and the final PCB will be black.” – personally think the white PCB is a better look overall

  Give it POE support and a rack-mountable enclosure and the homelab crowd would love this.

  Interesting, but somewhat overpriced and half assed. You can get a used tiny or micro business unit, complete with psp and case for that price. With more bang under the hood than this, and not a raspi-style cables-everywhere spaghetti solution like this.

    What would you recommend? Where can one find those businesses units?

      Search for “refurbished thin client” or something like that. The popular ones are usually from HP.

      Maybe this provides a good starter read: https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimicro-home-lab-revolution/

      There are more in detail later articles, also dealing withore modern units, and the prices are from 2020, where lockdown and other factors spiked a big demand.

      I’m more into beginner’s server units, and I’ve sourced a Supermicro X10 based 1u server for EUR 75 including shipping on one ebay night.

      Patience is the key, and probably best set yourself an upper limit price wise.

      Globally, as others have already mentioned, ebay would be your best bet.
