Hey everyone 😃

A few days ago I picked up a tiny PC (ThinkCenter M720Q) and I’m pretty impressed with its sleek design!

Up until recently, I didn’t even know devices like this existed! 😄

Here's the spec breakdown:

Processor: Intel i3-9100T
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 256GB SSD

I’m wondering what I can get away with running on this for some homelab testing. I was thinking of setting up 1 controller node and maybe a couple of worker nodes, but I believe K3s might only support one node on this hardware for my setup.

Still undecided on the OS since it doesn’t have one installed yet.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Anyone running something similar? What OS are you using, and how are you leveraging your homelab setups? Looking forward to hearing your ideas!
