So I got myself a HP Elitedesk 800 G2 Mini on a whim. My plan is to install proxmox on it and see if it can replace my NAS as my primary docker host. In the meantime it serves as my torrent box since it came with a W10 Pro license and can stay on 24/7. One of my first discoveries is that this thing is relly cool and silent even under load. My 10 year old gaming PC is almost twice as hot and sounds like a vacuum when under load. While the performance is actually similar. The second one is that the NIC in this is really great. It can consistetly saturate my 1gbps connection. Which my (apparently) shit realtek integrated NIC on my gaming PC does not do. When transferring large files from it, the transfer rate is all over the place and very rarely actually saturate the connection….

Looking forward to making even more interesting discoveries!
