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!
