bought the Dell Wyse 3040 as above. for 2.5k. so no requirement now.
Hi DigitalDude, did you buy from the same website, would you recommend buying from the website. Also do you think if it can run "Home Assistant" Server with out issues.

yes, from the same website - Saudewala. yes would recommend buying from it.
i'm yet to test mine (received it just a couple days ago). but i'm just going to run pihole on it. it is pretty light weight. It could technically run Home assistant OS if it is just a basic setup with few devices. But for any practical purposes and better functionality you might want something with more RAM like Dell Wyse 5070 with 8GB or something like that.

@rsaeon the cmos cell in the Dell Wyse 3040 is dead. any idea where to get them? btw i'm following the leads from this website https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/3040/
They're pretty common, but be sure to check the polarity of the wires on the connector, the connector is polarized so it inserts only one way.
