I want to upgrade my Pis to something more reliable and not SD-card based and refurbished thinclients/SFF workstations seem to be a viable route. Does anyone have a cheap source for used hardware like this in Germany? I feel like the usual esm-computer, green-IT etc. are a bit overpriced.
I’ve got Igel with quadcore AMD CPU, actually quite powerful for home server running adguard, homeassistant,… and some other Igel with Via Eden CPU and HP 525(I think) with same CPU. Had HP for years, now switched to the Igel/AMD. HP needed SATA extension to fit the ssd in, for Igel I’ve simply opened the SSD case and plugged the boar directly. Works like a charm.
