My use case is a homelab kubernetes cluster, so I want multiple nodes for redundancy, but I don't want to use too much electricity or generate too much heat. But for the sake of other readers, let's keep it general:

What's a nice little computer for a homelab, with its own power supply, ethernet, and room for 2 internal disks?

@cpbsy I bought such a refurbished HP mini pc this year. There can 2 NVMe 2280 be used and with an additional caddy, a 2,5" device also can be added.When the system is idle, it is using 8 watts.en.ram-koenig.de/hp-elitedesk-There are also other models available, but not all are providing sockets for a second NVMe device.Also mini-pcs from Lenovo are often used, but there are only few models available, which have a socket for a second NVMe device.But they normally have a caddy for a 2,5" device.
