I still have a alix that works. Moving on, some of my co-workers were building VMWare home labs last month. One of them posted this post on STH https://www.servethehome.com/hp-elitedesk-mini-2-5gbe-flex-io-v2-nic-intel-i225-m74416-001/ on how some of the HP ,and presumably Lenovo and Dells, can get a second nic in the Small Form Factor boxes. For me this is what I am going to try next. HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Desktop Mini i5-6500T 8Gb $75 USD https://www.ebay.com/itm/115757176383 M.2 A E Key To RJ45 Network Card Intel i211 $36 USD . https://www.ebay.com/itm/194915522383 This will be a quite powerful small Intel box with two intel nics that can run off DC or AC . This is going to require me to remove the optional 2nd Display port / HDMI / Serial port and maybe dremel that slot a bit to fit the RJ45 . Now there are some gotchas here. Some of the AMD Ryzen versions of the SSF boxes have Realtek nics, some have Intel 2.5GB nics too. You have to do some research. Some have magic parts you can only find 2nd hand that give you a proper 2nd nic. From what I read on STH HP and Dell have a bunch of weird parts for this line that are only available at purchase time, and you cant buy them direct after the fact. This includes 2 port 2.5gb intel nics . -- mark saad | nonesuch at longcount.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
