Best Mini PC for Proxmox

Picks refresh twice a day.

Proxmox cares about installed RAM, somewhere to put disks, and a CPU that idles down when the guests are quiet. 16GB runs a few small VMs. 32GB is where a homelab stops feeling crowded. 64GB is what you buy when you already know you will fill it. Virtualization on these x86 chips is a given. What changes is how much memory is soldered, how many SSDs the chassis accepts, and the watts it draws at idle.

The catalog knows the RAM and storage in the listing, the CPU, and a typical idle wattage. It does not know empty M.2 slots, extra NICs, or 2.5GbE, so the picks will not invent them. Confirm expansion on the product page before this becomes your only hypervisor.
