XG Home on Dell Optiplex?

Mr Yoda

Hi,

I want to replace my old SG 125 on XG with something that has more power.
Gui is slow an I want more then 1Gb/s for the future.

I bought a used HP Prodesk 600 G4 (i3 8100) which does not boot with 2023 Bios- well known and discussed UEFI stuff.

Has anybody tried a Optiplex 5050 / 7050 SFF (i3/5 7xxx) and can confirm that the XG does boot?

I am aware of virtualisation (ESXi, Proxmox) but I wont go that route.
I have access to differnt old server nics  (Intel Boradcom, Mellanox, 1G 10G). I will find something working with the 4.x Kernel.
Its just about booting the XG on consumer hardware with 2x pcie slots and not tooo big cases.

Regards
MrYoda

    I've installed XG-Home on a Optiplex 7040 i5, running fine. Installed a 2xSPF and 4x1GB Intel NIC into the PCI slots and they detected fine (well known the onboard NICs are not detected/supported). Booting from the USB to installing XG-Home was easy enough to do. Put in a SATA SSD, more for noise than speed, its quite quiet.
