I started on Elitedesk 800 G1s when Raspberry Pis got hard to find and expensive, and I now feel they are better in every respect if you don’t need the GPIO pins.

Every time I open them up to upgrade something I’m impressed with the level of engineering. There are quality manufacturer manuals for them, the cooling is good and they look great

        well you have all 9 running then same thing, but if there’s ever a disagreement, you have them vote…
        that’s why you always need an odd number of them

        I have 2 small Dell micros and truenas+qdevice. I have two full replacements of those Dell micros just sitting powered off.

        One proxmox Dell is for production. Reverse proxy+outward facing services. The other Dell is for dev/internal shit that i can break and rollback and not care. One is set to run until the UPS is almost dead, other one shuts down almost immediately.

        It’s just nice to have the options and the power draw is negligent.
