Hi guys!
I’m looking for an advice. I need to buy a PC (prefere SFF). I want it to be my IP cameras server (runing Windows) and Hass.io server (VM). Spec i5, 8/16 gigs of ram. SSD 250GB system drive and 3+TB HDD. Low power consumption would be great. I checked few different options and for now HP 800 G1 is my number 1. I rejected Intel NUC because it is limited to one SATA drive. However I’d like to know your opinions and suggestions.
It should be fine. I run hass.io on a RPi 3, 1GB RAM, Mobile Phone CPU, 32Gb SD card without issue, power usage it around 5W.
An i5 will be many times more powerful than a RPi, but will use more than 5W however 
Little update.
I bought i7 32GB RAM 240GB SSD SSF PC, installed Proxmox VE and set up a Windows 10 based CCTV server as VM, and two LXC containers (Unifi Controller and Pi-hole) for now. It works astonishingly smooth and still has a great reserve of power.
Now I’m looking for the best way to migrate my Hass.io from Rpi to Proxmox. Did you guys try to set it up in LXC Container? Or maybe VM would be better, which from above will be most effective and stable?
