@CameronDev Unfortuanately, I didn't think about this before buying the UPS. IT doesn't support such features. Maybe I could get a device that can report power outage over the network and take actions accordingly.

@koala I ended up getting Elitedesk 800 G5 with i7 9th Gen CPU, 32 GB (Kingston)

@shreyan I'm getting a used Elitedesk 800 G5. Is that a bad idea?

@__hetz @selfhosted Thanks for the info. Let's see which one I can find in the market. I will get either G4 or G5.

@golli The problem with Aliexpress is shipping charge is often higher than the products price. :)

@lka1988 Sometimes delivery charge is higher than the product itself when ordering from Bangladesh :) ... Also customs processing will take a while. I found a G4 with i5 in a local store.

@3dcadmin Those are actually what I will be selfhosting. I've decied to get Elitedesk 800 G4 (around $160 USD).

@golli Hard to find in Dhaka
, unfortunately. Can you please suggest a specific model that I can look for?

[–] ml@mitexleo.one 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

@GM7077 @selfhosted Yeah, that's probably what I'm going to do.

@GM7077 @selfhosted Yeah. But I don't have many options here in Bangladesh. 😓

@gary_alderson @selfhosted How much ram do you recommend? 16 GB seems good enough.

 

I'm considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I'm wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this purpose. I'm particularly looking at the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G5 models. Unfortunately, finding these devices in Dhaka has been challenging. So far, I've found a G3 on bikroy.com, but it comes with a 6th gen i7 CPU.

Edit: I ended up getting Elitedesk 800 G5 with i7 9th Gen CPU, 32 GB (Kingston) and 1 TB Nvme (a Chinese brand called Kingspec). I'll get a new ssd later. The price was 35k BDT ($300 approx). The bios was locked. But I managed to unlock it by booting without cmos.
