  • That’s what I’ve literally just traded up to from a Pi. Prodesk 600 G3 comes standard with a 6 core i5 8500, has 4 full size ram slots, an m2 ssd slot and has a mount for 3.5” hdd, all drawing only 65w.

    There’s a low profile one as well but then you’re stuck with sodimm, no space for a full size hdd and no pci-e slots.

    I picked it up second hand for NZD 100 so I imagine it would be even cheaper in the states.



  • There’s 3 factors you should take into account when trying to decide on resolution vs refresh rate:

    • Your graphics card
    • Your ideal monitor size
    • How far you sit from the monitor

    If you’re going for a bigger screen (e.g 32”+) and sit close to the monitor then you’re going to want a higher resolution (1440p+). If it’s a 24” like the BenQ and it’s a couple of feet away from you, you’re probably better off prioritising refresh rate.



  • Yeah, sorry, I probably included too much irrelevant information.

    I’d like the pihole to be available outside of my LAN. I believe I can do so by setting up an OpenVPN configuration on my router.

    However, I have a server on the LAN that needs to have it’s traffic masked from my ISP as it handles my torrent and Usenet traffic. My primary question is whether having a VPN set up on my router will interfere with the commercial VPN on the server.
