@r_em_y @geerlingguy the only exception of 10" never being used is in AV gear, as those started with huge 19" mountable tube amps and nowadays still use that instead.
Personally, I do like 10" and 19" and a lot of "smol" desktops like the #ThinkCentre Tiny / #ThinkStation Tiny and #ProDesk Mini / #EliteDesk Mini fit neatly alone in 10" and 19" together...

I've even seen 19" Dual-ITX and 10" ITX cases for mini servers...

My 4 HP minis, used for various #homelab shenanigans.
From bottom to top:
- HP #Prodesk 400 G1 - Core i3 2c/4t - 16GB
- HP #Prodesk 400 G2 - Celeron 2c/2t - 8GB
- HP #Prodesk 400 G3 - Pentium 2c/2t - 16GB
- HP #Elitedesk 800 G3 65w - Core i5 4c/4t - 32GB
I cannot insist enough about how perfect these machines are for tinkerers like us.
Low power (7w in idle) but powerful, compact, and cheap as hell on the used market. (I scored the 3 lower ones for less than 50€ each)

@Ch0wW
Je suis d'accord,je recommande les HP #prodesk ou #elitedesk en format "mini" d'occasion : moins chers et bien plus puissants et souples à l'usage.

I'm a bit familiar with this line of products: used HP #Prodesk/#Elitedesk Mini are great choices for #homelab and servers at home :)
I bought it used from "leboncoin", the equivalent of Craigslist in France.
There are also tons of them on eBay 🙂
This is the kind of machines that big corps get by hundreds as desktops for their employees, they renew them every 3/5 years, then they land on the used market.
A great intro to these machines: https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimicro-home-lab-revolution/
Spent yesterday evening checking and installing my new acquisition: an HP #Prodesk 400 G2 (got this one for really cheap)
Loaded it with an SSD, #debian and 16GB of RAM, it's now ready to keep company to the 2 others, G1 and G3 🙂
