        False. $1K is nice, but a used SFF PC plus basic GPU card can be had for under $300.
        $500 will get you an RTX3050, and 16GB 8th-gen, will play plenty.

          I've got free ex corp coming out my ear. But low cheap, low power, low profile GPUs seem to be a unicorn.

          • bargaino on 25/10/2024 - 21:04

            @Ulysses31: I got a GT1030 years ago, still going strong.

            RTX3050 seems to be the way now. Draws 70W from the PCIe, no special connector needed.
            Available in low-profile, double slot, fits Optiplex SFF I beleive.

            • Ulysses31 on 26/10/2024 - 10:34

              @bargaino: I read countless guides, and they all concluded with 1650. But that will always pull big bucks, hard to find. I'm wondering why none say 3050?

              New or used, they're all ~$300
              Does my brain need to change? Cos it seems crazy to spend that, comparing to the PC cost

              • bargaino on 26/10/2024 - 15:27

                @Ulysses31: I just did a quick google, am not up to date.
                But if you want a cheap gaming system, it is not at all unusual for the graphics card to cost more than the used office PC you put it in.

                • Ulysses31 on 27/10/2024 - 13:29

                  @bargaino: You've actually helped (confuse me more?), cos the 3050's are actually available, and currently on special at a few places $278.
                  One 1650 apparently available (and cheap), MSY Tasmania, pickup only.

                    @Ulysses31: ryzen m780 igpu with fast ddr5 ram is on par with 1650 these days

                    when a last gen igpu beats a new gpu it's worth re-evaluating your options

                Spending that, on these old machines, is absolutely crazy - if you want to play games, then just buy a brand new gaming machine that already includes a modern graphics card - there's plenty of regular deals.

                Some years ago, you could buy a then-current card like a 1050 in low profile for $150 and they were a great deal in small machines like this.

                But it's now five years later - these cards are now multiple generations old, and they still cost $150 😂 The days of low profile cards and machines are long gone - they don't make sense any more.

          Er, an entire brand new gaming PC with a 4060 is $688 at the moment https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/872785

          Spending $500 on these old things is absolutely bonkers.

        There are plenty of respectable gaming PC deals on this very website for about the $700-750 mark.

    • freefall101 on 25/10/2024 - 12:56

      You can put a (very small) GPU into some of the Lenovo ones like the P340. For a 1L sized desktop, it's pretty impressive and might even run one of those single slot 4060s (although I imagine power supply becomes an issue).

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/872785 - I'd wait for another techfast ITX deal like this instead though.

      Acer Veriton N4640G Mini.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLUzrH0SipU

      It has a 16x PCIe port. You will need to source a PSU for the card and might need to upgrade the power brick this comes with. If you eBay you will find the model with one of those bricks for much less.

    Hi OP

    does the Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 Tiny model support 2.5 drive ? seeing conflicting information online
    (assuming it has one 8gb ram stick with room for a second?)

    • tonyjzx on 25/10/2024 - 12:51

      i'm pretty sure i have some of these running a customers pos setup

      it has the usual dual ddr4 sodimms, single 2.5 sata and an m2 sata

      • CasualGoalie on 25/10/2024 - 14:05

        I had to cut the bracket to install a 2.5 HDD, as the slot is a bit thin, it is good for Sata SSD but not so good for HDD. Probably why there are conflicting information about it.

  • pooran on 25/10/2024 - 12:56

    Is the G2 Micro a better buy over the M700? CPU, extra 128gb storage,Wifi and USB-C for an extra $20. Primary use will be HA.

      extra 128gb storage,Wifi and USB-C for an extra $20

      That's worth 20 bucks.

  • fullerms on 25/10/2024 - 13:26

    Hi Op,

    Is there any chance you have a cheaper M720Q / M920Q option with a Intel Pentium Gold or i3 processor? Even a barebone unit with just Power Supply will be fine.

    Edit: and do you have the pci-e riser for sale?

  • RedHab on 25/10/2024 - 17:07

    Nice selection, OP! Quite tempting.

    For those into budget home-labbing I'd recommend the 93 Tiny. Much faster and cheaper than a Raspberry Pi, unless you need GPIO, a GPU or very low power.

    The M93p can easily be upgraded to around the speed of a i5-9500t by buying a $22 Xeon e3 1275L v3 off AliExpress.

    • desync on 25/10/2024 - 17:25
      +1

      at these prices you are better off going for a new ryzen 5000 series mini pc from aliexpress for around 300

      craps all over that weakling xeon - which will actually overheat and thermal throttle as the cooling on these systems are designed for 35W

      you must have typed the wrong xeon model as that thing is down 2 cores and 30% less power from the 9500T

      • RedHab on 27/10/2024 - 09:50

        Yep, I was sorry wrong, I checked mine. Xeon E3-1265L v3 not the ..75L.

        It uses 10W more (on paper) than the i5-4750T. Mines been going for over a year. Under Prime95 the cooling system and standard 65W PSU can handle the load.

        I actually replaced the Motherboard on an old HP Microserver N36L NAS with the m93 and a 8087-SAS mini-PCIe card.

    • mahgo on 25/10/2024 - 17:28

        Different use case but I rate these. Just be careful with the MMC in terms of wear.

        I put a cheap 16GB DIMM for 20GB total and a SATA M.2 for some storage (note it can not be NVMe). Then removed the WiFi card and replaced with a m.2 PCIe NIC. Runs Proxmox and then pfsense in a VM and a few containers for stuff like pihole, gotify and a few others.

        Averages about 5-7W. About 10W with 4 cores maxxed out.

              budget for additional, even better if you already have these lying around somewhere
              - m.2 128gb SSD SATA drive ($15)
              - boost ram to 12gb with a stick of 8gb ddr4 ram sodimm ($20)

              if you wanted double the performance for a little more than double the price then the i5-8500T above is a great option, but it's worth noting it's:
              - actively cooled
              - triple the energy consumption
              - slightly older cpu, 8th gen vs 9.5 gen, not a big deal though, either is great for video work

              i5-8500T is a great chip, 6 cores, so if you're running proxmox or a desktop and want the extra processing it's a decent option

              spend a little more and i'd go the ryzen aliexpress mini pc route to double to power again for a little more dosh

      if you want a dedicated video card then mini pc's are not the way to go for a beginner. The same company had some deals earlier that are better:

      Of these, this is cheap and ok imho.

      Bear in mind that these will only take a low profile video card.
      Also, as you need windows 10, you are likely to need windows 11 in 1 year so you want to get at least an i5-8400.

        Thank you so much. So basically I can buy the above HP PRODESK 600 G4 and add the video card separately? If so, is it very easy to do so by removing the cover? Is there specific graphics cards for this PC or any should fit? Thank you again 🙏

    For those that need to know- Here's a matrix of what Lenovo Tiny's support discrete GPU's:

    https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/lenovo-thi…

    TL;DR

    PCIe x8 Gen 3

    M720q / M920q / M920x / M90q / M90q Gen 2
    P330 / P340 / P350

    PCIe x8 Gen 4

    M90q Gen 3
    P360

    "You can install most x1/x2/x4/x8/x16 PCIe cards as long as they are half height and shorter than 150mm (M720q and M920q) or 167mm (M90q and later), but bear in mind there is no direct airflow around the card and little space, so avoid anything too hot."

    "Riser cards.​
    Remember the slot is really PCIe x8. Make sure you use the correct riser for your Tiny model; if you don't, powering on will fry the motherboard.​"
