That’s exactly why I didn’t buy it, and I don’t need so much specs, just something more power efficient with lower specs, so if you have some recommandations…

Humm ok, maybe trying to find a sff PC (don’t want a mini PC)

I’m going to check the German article but maybe that’s a bit above my budget.

How do you think that I could reach 20W with the P500?

I have a very low budget but you know, I don’t want to get that kind of laptop or mini pc (due to their lack of upgradability), I don’t necessarily want 10W power draw only want to not idle at more than 70…

I want to have at least 6 SATA ports (could upgrade it with a pcie card later) and some pcies ports. In fact if the machine is around $150 but has terrible power efficiency I wouldn’t choose this thing. So I want to both 😅 but if a machine would be great and has lower specs that I was expected I would take it anyways.

Yeah it’s me again because I wanna to make sure that I will buy the right thing for my homelab journey (don’t wanna spend money uselessly)

In fact I’ve found pretty nice deal with 128gb and 24vcores at $160, the only downside is that it’s a proliant dl380 g8 m, so it’s going to be noisy and power hungry

I don’t want the people approval, just I want to know if some others alternatives exists to make sure that I start my homelab with a good setup

I would prefer to not because a mini PC is not good for upgrade, has no space, not so fast and it’s not so low priced

Searching on my “national used marketplace”, but do you have some recommandations? I don’t care about the specs mostly the power draw…

The Lenovo P500 has 64gb RAM, 12 vcores for as low as $135, and it seems a bit power efficient The onlydownside is that the PSU is a bit strange (hard to find)

ok

Sorry I says vm but in fact this is containers

In Proxmox :

VM with Truenas Scale VM with Debian to run docker :

• wireguard

• reverse proxy

• jellyfin (+ jellyseerr)

• radarr, sonnarr, prowlarr

• nextcloud

• pfsense

• duckdns

• zabbix (and maybe grafena)

• NUT

• Pie-Hole like

• 2 websites

hummm… yeah that’s a bit power hungry

Do you think it would be better to go to an consumer cpu instead of a xeon?

for sure but even with all my stuff I think that something like that would draw around 40-50W idle and up to 90W running

Bro think about used part and I don’t need 7200mhz ddr5

I just want to correct something is that the TDP is the power under load, so if the cpu is not 100% used it could be 20 hours at 25W and 4 at 90W

do you think that this thing would be around 150W?? I think more about 50W Max, for example the cpu is relatively low-power

Look at my edit do you think it’s better?

Look at the edit I will maybe take that

I’ve edit the post with what I found, seems good and be more power efficient
