Damn, this is a sad day for the homelab.

The article says Intel is working with partners to “continue NUC innovation and growth”, so we will see what that manifests as.

        You could use eBay but that’s usually the option of last resort.

        Your local city probably has referb shops that sell them or if you’re keen you can pick them up directly from auction for peanuts.

      If you’re in a major city theres likely a recycling centre just for old office machines. You can snag them dirt cheap, but with no Harddrive. Theyre a bit dated, but will work great as a server.

        In a similar vein is to look for government auctions in town. I’ve got a major public university in my city, and it maintains a permanent auction warehouse. Like once a month they sell all kinds of stuff, from mini fridges to laptops by the pallet.

      My city has a couple mom-and-pop type businesses doing it, I’d hazard a guess it’s similar elsewhere - never heard of any ‘big name’ outfits doing it on any real scale.

        What’s your mom-and-pop businesses called? They have similar names or similar ways of finding them… Would make it easier to find those around me.

          I haven’t used them in a while, but I used to go to Calgary Computer Wholesale
