1U mini PC for AI? (startrek.website)

My rack is finished for now (because I'm out of money).

Last time I posted I had some jank cables going through the rack and now we're using patch panels with color coordinated cables!

But as is tradition, I'm thinking about upgrades and I'm looking at that 1U filler panel. A mini PC with a 5060ti 16gb or maybe a 5070 12gb would be pretty sick to move my AI slop generating into my tiny rack.

I'm also thinking about the PI cluster at the top. Currently that's running a Kubernetes cluster that I'm trying to learn on. They're all PI4 4GB, so I was going to start replacing them with PI5 8/16GB. Would those be better price/performance for mostly coding tasks? Or maybe a discord bot for shitposting.

Thoughts? MiniPC recs? Wanna bully me for using AI? Please do!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to deduct one style point for the misalignment of the labels on the mini PCs.

That's fair and justified. I have the label maker right now in my hands. I can fix this at any moment and yet I choose not to.

I'm man feeding orphans to the orphan crushing machine. I can stop this at any moment.

The machine must keep running!
