I know I'm dreaming, but my dramas with my media pc have led to me thinking about building another machine with a more robust setup.

Does anyone know of a machine that is:
a. Small (like, mini-itx small)
b. Fanless, or super quiet
c. has a 3.5" drive bay

I'll probably run Linux, because apparently I like pain :(

Lenovo Tiny M700 gặp vấn đề khởi động từ USB. Dù đã nâng cấp CPU, cập nhật BIOS, kích hoạt USB, SSD cắm vào vẫn không nhận boot dù hoạt động tốt trên máy khác. Ai quen hệ thống này rồi chia sẻ giúp?

PC upgrade alert 🚨

Upgraded to an RX 9070 and the Fractal Terra (since the 9070 couldn’t fit in my Ghost S1). Been looking for an excuse to buy this case ever since it launched, and I’m so glad that I finally had a reason!

OK and this $19 eBay score is a Digital Sign Display. Well, actually it's just a tiny AMD PC, complete with 128GB SSD and WiFi. With a quad core Jaguar+ based APU (similar to base PS4). I'm turning this into a HTPC for the bedroom using Tiny10 by NTDEV.

My old Tiny PC is getting more and more buggy, among other things the USB ports no longer work properly, whether the ones directly on the back of the mainboard or the two on the front of the case, which are connected to the MB with a cable... plus the already old Ryzen 5 3400G processor...

The situation really calls for something “new”, and in this case I would like to fall back on a refurbished device. It doesn't always have to be new, and many business devices are still more than usable. Especially with Linux. Besides, I already have a new device with the Beelink SER7.

After a bit of research, I'm currently considering an HP ProDesk 600 G6 SFF. I like the modular chassis concept, everything is easily accessible and well thought out. No comparison with cheap customer devices.

To illustrate this, I'll link an HP support video showing how well swapping components works. Now I just have to find a good offer...

Btw, for anyone who's interested, I'm now #selfhosting my #retro homepage and #gopherhole on a #Lenovo #ThinkCentre #TinyPC, running #Fedora #Server Edition.

This is also providing a DNS sinkhole via a containerized instance of #AdGuardHome.

The server will eventually provide network access to my #IC7100, as well, but for the time being only the cat control are functioning; the audio still needs to be worked out.

Ugh.

As soon as I got the #LePotato up and running again, it's already back offline. It's refusing to see any external drives, my wifi adapter, and the Ethernet connection. Basically, everything that would be needed to use it as a simple server is failing.

I'm sure that with enough troubleshooting I could get this back online (again)... But I think I've had enough of this #SBC and will be replacing it with a #Lenovo #TinyPC
