SER8 and whatever the latest version is for me. Also an S12-Pro which has run Proxmox, as well as a host of other hypervisors, operating systems and random stuff too, a lower powered n100 chip in there.

I went for a SER5 Max, and version of Proxmox is whatever was current at the time of installing it 9 months or so ago. I haven't used it muchWhich Beelink did you go for and what version of proxmox are your running ? TA
But had been fine when I have needed to do something with it.

Thanks guys,
I've struggled getting the Beelink stable but 'think' I've finally managed it 29 days uptime at the moment, it needs to hit 90 before I can confidently say all is good

plentoy of Dell optiplex about as well.
Something to keep in mind is that some models only have displayport output - sometimes in an auxiliary mini PC scenario HDMI is useful to have. Obviously you can get adapters.
I got my hands on a clearance Dell QBM1250 for this kind of use recently - Intel 265 65 watt, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVME while not to say there is anything wrong with them but so far it seems much better than the other brands of mini PC I own or have used.

how much roughly for the Dell QBM1250 if you dont mind me asking. saw one for 400
it looks like a good unit with an NTU as well, only about 1 months old.
im mostly looking at the 3070 / 7070 range, still supports win 11 if i need it, HDD/SSD 2.5 additional storage ect.

Depends they range from £400 to £1600 approx. depending on spec and used (outlet) or new.
I got the QBM1250 with Intel 265 65 watt, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVME with the additional USB4/TB4 module for £600 on a recent outlet clearance deal - aside from the power supply lead nothing else in the box had been opened and power on hours and count for the NVME correspond to initial setup so I think I got a bit lucky on that one - that is like £1000-1200 new.
