Why 4 Dell Minis? You don’t need a monitor for CI/CD, and why 4? Is it for redundancy? Performance? We are interested in doing the same setup.

We are interested in doing the same setup.
- candiddevmike 2y agoNot OP, but I went with MOREFINE AMD Ryzen mini PCs. They can be configured with a ton of CPU/RAM (including ECC). They're really compact, support 2.5 Gb ethernet, and are great to work with. A comparable Dell workstation with ECC RAM would've been significantly more expensive, and you have to deal with their business folks to purchase them (or at least I couldn't figure out how to buy them direct).
- jjice 2y agoWasn't my choice, but one wasn't enough so we threw a few more at it. So mostly for performance, but the redundancy is an added benefit. They were a pretty decent space, power/heat, performance, and noise ratio for us. Our office is a single room with six desks, so space, noise, and heat are a larger consideration for us. I use a mini PC at home for a personal server as well, but that's just because used enterprise equipment is often a great deal.
