Love these little HP Elitedesk 800 G2 Mini I7. Can get them between $80-110, slap 32 GB of mem, and NVME drive, and have a nice and low power lab machine. Sips about 5-6 watts at idle.

Ignoring it. My lab is in the garage. It gets hot here in the summer, but not incredibly hot. And if heat shortens the life of my hardware, it’s all cheap; I’ll just buy a cheap replacement.

Hopes and prayers
