This is great. I've recently been playing with repurposing some old thin clients as homelab Linux machines

Not my site, but same idea: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/

All this old/obsolete gear is plenty capable when used with the right software.

Funny, I use that exact website to find passively cooled hardware to use as a server.

I did get Qwen3.5 0.8B working at 5 tokens per second on the iGPU of a Dell Wyse 7020. I mostly use it to complain to; I have not yet found an agentic task for it. But also the CPU does plenty of small services and terraria servers and such.

Out of interest, what have you been doing with them?
