Hi, I’m looking to buy a small computer to upgrade my setup for selfhosted servers. Right now I’m running containers directly on my qnap nas but I would like to migrate most of them on a dedicated server. I’m looking for something that could run docker with stuff like plex, arrr apps, Torrenring, wireguard, vault garden and more. I would like for that server to be very power efficient, something running with as low as 65w TDP or less and also I would like it to be a small computer, something like beelink or Lenovo tiny form factor for example . I looked some small pc from Lenovo, Dell, hp and as I understood it is a bit messy with the power usage depending of the cpu. So I was wondering what would me options be here? Is there other people here who also wanted to run power efficient servers if yes what did you found?
I’ve saw some good news about Intel’s N95/100/200/305 CPUs, N200 is said to have similar performance as I5-7400 at 6W TDP.
Right now I can see MSI and Gigabyte offer these CPUs in their mini pc product line.
Cool, I will go check those processor for sure. Do you happen to know if there’s a small factor pc running with one of those processors?
Gigabyte GB-BNIP-N200
MSI Cubi N ADL
Beelink EQ12
Perfect I’ll check them, thanks for the suggestions
