Hardware Configuration

To create a reliable yet compact setup, I’ve carefully selected the following hardware components:

Beelink SER5 Pro Mini PC

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (8C/16T, Up to 4.4GHz)
• RAM: 32GB DDR4
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon (Supports 4K@60Hz Output)
• Networking:
  • WiFi 6 (Primary connection)
  • Bluetooth 5.2
  • Ethernet via WiFi Extender
• Operating System: Proxmox VE 8.x (Replaces Windows 11 Pro)

WiFi Extender (Ethernet Connection)

• Extends network coverage for Proxmox.
• Provides an Ethernet bridge for better stability.

Cooling System (Optional)

• An external cooling fan or additional thermal management can be used to maintain performance under high loads.

Small Rack for Organization (Optional)

• A small rack is used to neatly organize the mini PC and manage cables, ensuring a tidy setup and improved airflow.
