Excellent choice. Have several of them too, with either i5-7500T or i7-7700T, with small 65W or 90W power-bricks. With 32GB RAM each. With that even the 7500's

Excellent choice. Have several of them too, with either i5-7500T or i7-7700T, with small 65W or 90W power-bricks. With 32GB RAM each. With that even the 7500's are more than enough for my browsing needs. Didn't see the need to rack them, though. I've put four of them on the back of my desk edgewise, under one of my screens, with an old routerthing running OpenWRT on top of them, connected with short patch cables on the back, out of sight. Stable and cat-proof. Even with the powersave governor pushing them down to 800Mhz they stay snappy, and rarely go above 1.2GHz, except when I compile stuff, or do logic-simulations. But I have other, more modern stuff for that. OTOH with things like distcc/Icecream they can be useful helpers. Edit: Suspend to RAM/wakeup (via whichever mechanism(even via keycombo or special key on modern Keyboard)), WOL, NetBoot/PXE works every single time. 4K video? No problem. Hackintosh? Check. But why? There's QEMU. (Am not a Mac person anyways) Genode? Check. Much more interesting running native/bare metal. The quality of the BIOS/UEFI is phenomenal, like Thinkpad legendary.
