Hi!

I have an old gaming pc (i5 9400F) with 16gb of ram that has been acting as my home server with proxmox. It’s quite large and quite loud and very overpowered for what I’m using it for (home assistant, Minecraft server, some lxc containers) and a mini pc (amd 5800h with 16gb ram).

I want to sell my gaming pc, place the HDD into a NAS (and samba share my plex library), and potentially grab a low powered N100 minipc to pick up the lxc containers and home assistant that my gaming pc is running.

New to self hosting so wondering if this is a good setup or if there are any glaring issues you see with this. What is your setup?

Huh, I've never heard of them, that looks like a pretty cool box!

The main issue I see is no PCIe slot. My current NAS runs over Wi-Fi (I know, I should run cable to it), so I would need to put this next to my router, which is in my bedroom. And even though it's pretty quite, I don't want to hear that all night. A minor issue is that it uses laptop RAM, so I probably can't reuse the modules in something else.

That said, definitely a cool find, thanks!
