Where do you buy refurbished HDD?

Dude, relax!

Yes, I’ll have to buy a 10/15€ cheap Chinese adapter.

But can it run it though? Does it have enough power?

I wish it was possible to connect it to VGA servers to 🙁

Veeeery nice! I want one! (Well…maybe 2, or 3, or… 😁)

Edit: Do you know about other KVM maybe under those 69$ without screen? Personally I wouldn’t need it.

What do you mean by “suspicious”? What are your worries?

Ok, but is that “high load” something that the rpi 5 is capable of handling? I don’t think so.

At peak the sff PCs are going to be at least triple the ~30W of the pi 5.

Are you sure? I think that for the same tasks, the i5 (at least 9th gen) is more power efficient than the rpi 5. I was a pi guy, I had them all over the places, but like you, I’m now using SFF/tiny used PCs (when I don’t need GPIO).

Well, actually with 150$ you could buy a used business SFF/tiny PC with an 8th/9th gen i5 CPU and I don’t think that it will consume that much more than a rpi.
