Hello selfhosters, I'm currently in the process of doing recon for hardware upgrades in my homelab (bad timing, I know). It's been some time since I did this the last time and every hardware website I've checked so far, either don't have any mini pcs, nucs or similar, or they have zero information about the hardware.

Are there any good sites for selfhosted hardware? I prefer European sites if there are any, but at this point I'll take anything I can get.

Notebookcheck often does reviews of miniPCs, while they don't have a dedicated toggly for miniPC (at least on this page), you can filter by brand which should get you pretty close.

Liliputing covers mini-PCs, but reviews are rather rare.

Not EU, but I have used them for years and never had an issue with any of my purchases.

pcspecialist. They're based in the UK but also have mainland European websites (.de, .ch, etc) and deliver everywhere.

Well, if they give you the manufacturer and model number, you should be able to look them up with the manufacturer.
