Something I’ve wanted to do for a while now – add a second NIC/network port to my EliteDesk Mini. The G4/G5 work well and the G3 is so-so – you be the judge.

In my case, I never bothered with Intel chip and bought a Realtek M.2 A+E 2.5G adapter from AliExpress for less than $12 for my 2nd ethernet on my EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini. My pfSense with proxmox setup has been running stable for months with 500+Mbps (download) and 750+ Mbps (upload) speed. Very satisfied with the purchase.
Awesome. Wondering if this will work with the G2, I want to turn one into a OPNsense FW
I have no need to modify my Prodesk but just wanted to watch the video. I have two G3 600s and rarely use them, whenever I do need them, I mainly use one for a second desktop instead of my spare SFF HP Z230 or laptop. I'm currently setting up Linux Mint on one of my G3s for gaming because of Microsoft's shenanigans with Windows 11.
Another interesting video for sure, but for me I think it may have had the opposite effect of what you had in mind. It has convinced me that I would have to sacrifice way to much (aka lose a 2280 nvme slot (down to 2230) , lose sata caddy, have to 3d print a bracket and have to mod the case to close properly). Great to watch for sure though.
Also wanted to thank you for one of your previous videos where you showed the method to lookup warranty. I did that just for fun on the (2) 806 g6 units I been messing with and was stunned to find out they are still in warranty. So thanks to your video I am now able to get both units repaired for free.
Thanks again
hey man, ive been working with those PCs to get me a mini nas / home server with some actual processing power. i have designed a 3d printable HDD cage for two drives, but it can scale for up to 11 sata drives. it seems to me, that we are thinking in the same direction and we should have a chat. i am good with linux, programming, cad, mechanics and i have a degree in electronics. but i think you know a bit more about the different versions of those computers. let me know if you are interested in an exchange / discussion of ideas, problems and solutions!
Hi, how can I reach you?

The intel i225 version of this costs almost the same as the gigabit version. Might as well get that for future proof.
Can you network boot with this NIC card?
I got a similar card a month or so ago and the LEDs work great. There is a 2 port version available. I've got one in my shopping cart at Aliexpress until I find one in US to remind me. I want to assign 2 ports in Proxmox to a pfsense server so you know virtual router. Correct pronounce on kapton. You're not a redneck or you would have used DUCK tape. I have a server that is made from an SBC, chlorplass corrugated plastic, and DUCK tape. It comes in different colors. So great!
Thank you for using my bracket 😊 The screws go in from the back, you need M3 10mm (if I remember correctly).
I only needed to cut that small piece off, and I just used a viewcutter.
Using the extra nic to be able to run pfSense in Proxmox.
