I have an obscene amount of retired Chromeboxen that I have flashed with Mr.Chromebox[0] EFI and running as either K8s, Proxmox or independent Linux/Windows nodes at any given time. These are mostly 1st-gen i7-4600U Haswell's, upgraded to 16GB RAM and 128G+ SSDs. I ripped them out of their cases, added heatsinks to the new SSDs, and then "racked" them by wedging the front-bottom mainboard corner (if plugs are oriented to the rear and the heaviest plug, AC, at the rear-bottom for balance) into a slotted piece of super-strong and right-angled cardboard that came from inside some re-inforced shipping box (I think it was an X-mas tree). I assembled all of this juuuuuuust before COVID while learning K8s and craving the physical plan aspect, as I had just transitioned to a remote SaaS role from one that involved multiple physical DCs and travel. My "go small lab" initiative turned into some sort of Tribble fable. [0] https://mrchromebox.tech/ https://mrchromebox.tech/
