I’m considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I’m wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this purpose. I’m particularly looking at the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G5 models. Unfortunately, finding these devices in Dhaka has been challenging. So far, I’ve found a G3 on bikroy.com, but it comes with a 6th gen i7 CPU.
@gary_alderson @selfhosted How much ram do you recommend? 16 GB seems good enough.
@ml @selfhosted you can always add more - good upgrade path
@ml @selfhosted you have options and a good upgrade path - you may want to look at hp 800 g4/5 for 9th gen - you can add 128 to those - doublecheck the specs
