pcengines APU2 is also a pretty sweet platform: https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm
Also for homelabbers the https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/Mini-ITX/SYS-E300-8D.cfm https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/Mini-ITX/SYS-E300... is like the "ultra-NUC", really small but 2x10 gbe NICS built in, plus IPMI.
- illamint 9y agoHow loud is that little Supermicro, though?
- zxcmx 9y agoYeah definitely noisier. https://tinkertry.com/supermicro-superserver-sys-e200-8d-and-sys-e300-are-here https://tinkertry.com/supermicro-superserver-sys-e200-8d-and... shows about 60db(!) with fans at full blast during spinup but 42db or so when dialled down. So not too bad. The difference with IPMI tho is you can safely put them in the attic or wherever.
- ThrowawayR2 9y agoThe Xeon D's are nice (8 physical / 16 logical cores for less than 45W for the D-1541) but I wouldn't recommend buying Supermicro's pre-assembled machines for home lab use; they are noisy. It would be better to buy their bare motherboards instead (e.g. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-8C-TLN4F.cfm http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV...) and self-install it into a low-noise mini-ITX case instead.
