Thing is super small (about the size of a toaster), quiet, has low heat output and has some power behind it, perfect for a home server. Max the ram out at 32G, buy the iLO PCI card and throw some large disks in it and you're set.
Be aware support for these servers ends on June 2024 and you should update the firmware for the motherboard and iLO before then. HP's support page is barely usable and they demand you create an account and type in the serial numbers of every one of your products (iLO too) before they will give you firmware / security updates for any devices. Even then, actually performing the update is awful, their website barely functions, the update process requires their brand of specialized tools to work and is a massive time sink. Having run Dell servers for years, I didn't expect the level of support (or lack thereof) to be such a contrast with this manufacturer. Good hardware, awful teeth pulling experience to update anything unless you already run a bunch of HP equipment and have offline archives of all the content that gets taken down and moved around constantly.
