1L form factor gaming PC

Some other cool options at 3-4L are: •Lenovo Thinkstation P360 Ultra or P3 ultra •HP Z2 Mini G9 worktation But again, the same rule applies here: only if you can find them second hand or refurbished (for a reasonable price). Because new ones are always ridiculously expensive. If you don't need a nam

External graphics cards

MiniPC may only have 1 oculink port so you may be able to use this port for an external GPU enclosure.

Hypervisor HW advice

For a small desk sized Hypervisor, I've been looking at the likes of the Minisforum MS-A1, though it seems they're going for a refresh at the moment and the MS-02 Ultra (or MS-S1 MAX) seems like a really strong proposition considering you can throw a GPU in it (looking directly at the Intel B60 beca
