ServeTheHome | 1L BEAST! A 35W 64GB AMD Ryzen Powered Proxmox TMM Node @ServeTheHomeVideo | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 seconds ago.
We take another look at a Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Tiny Gen2. This time we have a 35W AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650GE processor. We even upgrade this system to 64GB of memory and a 1TB SSD before installing Proxmox VE to make a low power and quiet virtualization host (it runs Windows 10 Pro, Windows 11 Pro, and Ubuntu as well.)
