I just love how these little guys have socketed as opposed to soldered processors.

@wildbill23c Жыл бұрын

They were built with the mindset that you could actually repair them, and/or upgrade them rather than throwing them away...most stuff today you buy it that's what you got everything soldered on the motherboard without any sort of way to upgrade the hardware. Even RAM is being soldered on motherboards now, without any additional slots for additional memory later on, buy what you need in the future rather than the present is what you have to do.

It amazes me how many 65+-year-old people end up paying a fortune for computers when all they use them for is email, office stuff, Facebook, KZfaq, Netflix, Zoom, etc. Either that, or some outdated, bottom-of-the-prefab-barrel big, clunky pile of crap that they still paid too much for, despite it being barely capable of running its OS. Meanwhile, this little guy - dirt-cheap, sleek and unobtrusive; the size of a small hard-cover book and twice as light - has been perfect for everything any typical non-gaming, non-tech-enthusiast, average user will ever need.

You should look into the bios mods for it. You can add the 8th/9th gen microcodes and drop in a laptop Xeon 8c/16t with an LGA1151 socket mod from aliexpress.

There is a good thread on ServeTheHome. Keeps deleting my comments being more specific. M700/m900 coffee lake bios mod in a search engine is probably a good way to go.

In future you could just keep a preloaded Windows and Linux SSD handy rather than performing an install since nearly everyone who buys these has another PC they can use to install either should the encounter difficulties with their used machine. I keep spare SSDs preloaded for testing and to boot externally using adapters for data recovery. I keep Linux, Windows and also loaded Ventoy to one SSD so I can boot a selection of .isos internally or externally. Ventoy supposedly boots VMs too but I've not tried that yet.

yeah im always on a look for these kind of machines. i was going to buy a hp one with 4500t for cheap couple of months ago but then the dumbass seller "went abroad for holiday" on the day we agreed to meet, for some reason.

I want to setup a HomeServer, I have an ancient PC with an intel pentium dual core e5200 & 3GB DDR2 ram (no GPU) So should I throw it away or will it be barely ok ??

It would probably work just fine for some tasks, but it will probably use a lot of power relative to slightly more modern machines. If your electricity bill isn’t a concern, then maybe go for it. Otherwise, maybe look at selling it and putting a little bit of that money towards some thing a little bit newer. Third GEN Intel or newer gets quite a bit more efficient
