Ask HN: Mini PC with fast NIC and no graphics card
Is there a mini desktop PC that has a fast processor but no hdmi or other graphics output?
Only access web server and ssh.
Intel NUC looks nice but has graphics.

- bombcar 3y agoCheck https://www.servethehome.com/tag/mini-pc/ https://www.servethehome.com/tag/mini-pc/ Your best bet is almost certainly off-lease corporate PCs. They will have video but you can ignore it. If you want literally no video card at all, you probably have to build your own. Or find one that came with an actual powerful GPU and rip it out. Even a raspberry pi has HDMI.
- paulrpotts 3y agoJust FYI, Intel NUCs are being discontinued so if you want a new one, look for Asus models: https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/19/23800006/intel-nuc-computers-asus-license-support https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/19/23800006/intel-nuc-comput...
- kosasbest 3y ago> Intel NUC looks nice There are so many alternatives to NUCs, it always surprises me that people think Intel NUCs are the only choice. Just lookup 'Mini PC' on Amazon. There's thousands of choices other than NUCs, and cheaper too.
- peter_retief 3y agoThanks for the replies, it seems that the closest I can get is a rack mounted server module, which is expensive and over kill. Or just ignore the graphics in a mini pc.
