Hey that's pretty cool bro. I really dig these small form factor servers. If it weren't for the fact that I'm already invested with what I have, I'd probably be doing one for myself. Thing is, now days, you don't need big, honkin', dim the lights, server equipment to produce a very viable, very capable, server environment. Rock on with yo' bad self!

    Yep, my current ESXi box is a 2018 Dell SFF that runs surprisingly well at under 80 watts (idles just under 20).

    Dell makes a 200w power supply for it - the biggest limitation is RAM - it can only do 64gig.

    Thank you! I really recommend looking at RK3588 chips when upgrading from Raspberries, it's a very capable chip with good mainline kernel support!

    I recommend Talos even more though!
