Honestly, these little things are great!
FYI - you can get 2.5GbE cards that slot into the WiFi slot on the motherboard and pig-tail a line out one of the antenna ports.

Yes! Or get creative with a dremel and pliers... Sometimes it's worth sacraficing the odd VGA port (or equiv) along the way.
/u/Fruguy01, please chare your stack with /r/minilab too!
This title feels designed to find the homelab Dads of young girls.
My little homelab, my little homelab, ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhh!
Very cool. Small but very mighty.
From top to bottom
HP Elitedesk 800 G5 - Core i7-9700T 8 core, 16GB RAM, dual 256 GB nvme ssds
2x HP Elitedesk 800 G4 - Core i5-8500T, 16GB RAM, 256GB nvme SSD and 960GB Enterprise Sata 2.5" ssd
Dell Optiplex 5050 - Core i5- 7something, 32GB RAM, 256GB Sata m.2, 4TB WD Blue - This is my plex server atm.
HP Prodesk 600 G4 - Core i5-8500, 32GB RAM, 512GB m.2 NVMe - Just a testing machine atm, may be added to Proxmox cluster.
The HP mini pcs are my new Proxmox cluster. I'm setting up a few Windows Server VMs to learn some stuff for work. Other ideas are in the pipe, but I want to figure out some stuff in the Windows Server world first.
Gotta be honest the 2 bottom ones need to go, for neatness, power use, etc - I just see no point in anything bigger than a 1L now unless it's a total beast.
You can stack the 1L from Dell / Lenovo and HP all quite nicely.
Can you please at least wipe the shelf it’s on? All you need is 1 Lysol wipe, maybe 2.
Looks like some very capable machines.
takes 11 min to write comments? :D /s
How hard is it to add ram to those elitedesk's? I have a G4, but the bigger case. it had 4 ram slots, so it was easy to add to.
Looking at a few of those on ebay, I don't see a ram slot. is it just hidden under the fans?
Top three computers pulling 12 watts total lol
Nice setup
Very nice!
Perhaps stack them vertically so they don’t heat load each other ?
