That sounds great, can you tell us a little more about the set-up. I have been getting interested in a VPS because I run some quite large (for me) databases and have been thinking of transferring them to a VPS. Wonder how your set-up might compare and switch my databases to one or two of the minis.
Is it just storage you need? You can get 4tb Seagate Barracudas for about 80 quid. My zipped data is on those and I move what I want to analyse to a smaller m.2 drive on the mobo.
More 'power' by which I mean the ability to access/query databases without draining my laptop's resources. I performed a VBA function in Excel a while ago and it took 3 days to run, locking up Excel for that time, unable to run other spreadsheets. So I'm wanting to assign those data intensive processes away from my laptop to a sideline computer be it a 'mini as James is using or a VPS.
