Hey all, been wanting to get into self hosting for a while. I won’t be doing a whole lot - probably just a Plex server and photo/video archives.
Maybe a personal assistant if I get really bored, lol.
At work, I’ve got a selected of taking either:
- HP Prodesk 400 G4 - i5 7th Gen
OR
- Dell Optiplex 7020
- Dell Optiplex 3010
- Dell Optiplex 3040 All Intel i5
Let me know if they’re all shit too, lol.
Many thanks
I’m not familiar with HP. But with dell optiplex 3xxx, 5xxx, 7xxx tell you the class. Bigger number means more features, more premium build. The second to last digit tells you the generation. It’s 0-9 and then repeats. So 7020 is 1 year newer than 3010. 3040 is going to be the newest.
if you have the service tags just look them up on dell and you can see the detailed specs
