We take a 35W 1L PC from HP and do three levels of customization. We have a base low-cost option for upgrades. We have a Tier 1 upgrade package with 2.5GbE, fast PCIe Gen4 NVMe storage, and 64GB of memory. We then go all the way to a Tier 2 upgrade package with 10Gbase-T, 8TB of NVMe with ZFS, and even 96GB of memory. We then swap from Windows 11 Pro to Proxmox VE 8 to make this Project TinyMiniMicro node the ultimate Intel Core #Homelab virtualization node.
