I upgraded my storage and ram on my PC so now I have these two extra components sitting around. I kind of want to build the tiniest PC I can. Where can I find some discussion for it?

Or what other things might they be used for that I wouldn’t even think of?

Thanks :)

    Get a cheap barebone or a second hand NUC without a drive, a Zigbee USB stick and some ZB lightbulbs and power plugs. Install home-assistant. Automate your home. Warning, it’s very fun and rewarding, but also addictive and totally a rabbit hole that you can keep tweaking and improving indefinitely.

      This. On a definitely unrelated note, I wonder where all my money went? I thought it would be easier when I have automatic lights and curtains to fade the house into awake and sleep modes but now I’m trying to solve this new mystery .
