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!

for your usecase, i'd get an external gpu to plug in to one of these juicy thinkstations right there. bonus for the modularity of having an actual gpu instead of relying on whatever crappy laptop gpu minipc manufacturers put in there.

you could probably virtualize a sick gaming setup with this rig too. stream it to your phone/laptop.

nice setup btw.
