Happy with Intel Nuc for the homelab / selfhosting because they don’t take so many place and still have much power (sometimes on the cost of the fans loudness.
Same here. I have an 8i5beh home server in an Akasa case and I love that it’s tiny, low power and completely silent. During power outages, a cheap APC UPS keeps it, the router, and switches running for hours.
I’m a little worried about the future of those 3rd party fanless solutions now that Intel is leaving the scene, but I see that Akasa has AMD and raspi variants, so that’s promising at least.

Interesting what the next years will bring.
Yeah, they were great as HTPCs as well. Nice little form factor.
