I have an old aopen DE7000 mini pc here:

- Intel core2duo P8700

- nvidia c79 ion (9400m) graphics card

- 8GB(2x4) ddr3 1333mhz sodimm RAM

Last missing was a 2TB ssd which is now ordered thanks to you 🙏

I am planning to use Star9 OS 💪

That is a big device for running just a bitcoin node.

If you use start9 (good choice) you can run your own freeGPT in seconds.

And many other services.

If you do that, consider getting a smaller device, separate hardware, to just run Bitcoin core, electrum and a wallet. Something like an intel NUC or other mini pc with lower energy consumption.

Enjoy the adventure.

Thanks 🙏 yes, the energy consumption is also something i already thought about. But as i already struggle to make the ssd purchase i wanted to start with what i have. Waiting to be able to buy a nuc would be another hurdle

Do you think this device is overpowered for a bitcoin node? I was more concerned it was underpowered to be honest 😅
