TinyMiniMicro home server for solar powered garden office (alien.top)

I am turning my garden shed into a solar powered home office and starting to plan out power requirements and hardware I would like to run.

I have a laptop that I use to work from but I would also like to have a server running with a couple of SSD drives so I can run a NAS, NZB downloader and some other bits with proxmox.

I have been looking at the TinyMiniMicros but am a bit lost with the amount of choice out there.

Previously in the house I had been running a rack mount system with a pico PSU and an intel Celeron J1900 with 32gb of ram. I never did measure the power consumption on this but it did run everything I needed without a problem performance wise.

Anyone have any suggestions on model numbers to look at which are particularly power efficient?

I’ve been thinking about this myself. I have a shed with its own solar panel and battery pack and it has spare capacity left over every day. Been thinking about putting a low power nas in there for archival needs. I’d have to build one though, don’t see anything ready made that fits my low power application.

Wyse 5070. Mine idles just under 4 watts. Way faster than a j1900.
