Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny - HomeLab v2 - is my plan ok?
Hi guys,
after a bit of researching I have found a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny in my country for about 170 euros (used). Apparently I can get buyer's safety for 7 euros and delivery for 1 euro (on a well-known craigslist-like website, offered by the website).
As I was writing this I found a 300 eur variant of the same pc with a i5-8400T (6c6t, 1.7ghz base, 3.3 boost, UHD 630), but I found the deal above which, in my head, sounds like a much better deal (both are used).
Specs:
i3-8100T - 4c4t, 3.1ghz base - UHD Graphics 630 (AFAIK great for transcoding?)
8gb DDR4 RAM (would upgrade to at least 16, or even 32gb)
256gb SSD (NVMe, shipped with it)
would get a 1tb ssd (2.5' SATA. Performance is not a big issue, would be streaming movies and hosting some disk-easy services.)
I would use it for hosting Proxmox, and on it:
Jellyfin
Handbrake
Bitwarden (or vaultwarden)
Samba share (direct access to drive(s))
CUPS for printers
PiHole
and things like that, my brain isn't functioning at the moment.
Can someone please check if this is a good deal and if everything would "fit" on it? Thanks to everybody in advance!
I have the 8400T with 16 gigs of ram. Most of the same apps but also a home assistant VM and frigate. Cou usage is between 6 and 12% typically, I think it hit 30 once
