Mini PC Showdown: Which One For a HomeLab? [Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC, Zima Board, Beelink, Mac Mini]

Most are quite expensive. You can perfectly get a MacMini 2010, it is still the lowest power Mini of all Mini's in indle, and even the 2009 is great value for 25€. Also good deal can be had on Fujitsu thin clients. 14nm quad i5 for 75€, which makes toast of the new Raspberry Pi 5 in speed, price and power consumption.

I use Intel NUC (10th Gen i7) with Apple Studio display and Apple Thunderbolt Display (Secondary Monitor), it runs Windows and macOS (Hackintosh Boat Loader) as a Champ and no overheating.

Great video. Thank you.

I'm a strong fan of Intel Nucs and Beelink mini PCs for 70% of people. Powerful and super easy to setup.

For gaming, extreme coding, and video editing, Miniforum UM690 and M2 Mac Mini are great!

I've got a rpi 4 acting as a "all in one" solution with docker w/ pihole and two dns servers, firewall, retrogaming -and playing a livestream 24/7 and its good enough as is.

Thank you for the video good sir!! Just one important question though...what is an "haichDMI" port ?? Is it some type of regional only port?

Hi there! I enjoyed watching your video, and it was full of useful information. I'm curious to know your recommendations for a board that would be suitable for self-hosting a website, as well as any necessary software required for hosting. Could you please advise me on this?
