Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny — Quiet Homelab / Proxmox Node
Built for homelab, not for grandma's email. If you're building a Proxmox cluster, Docker host, Home Assistant box, Pi-hole, firewall or k3s node — this is your machine.
WHISPER QUIET
Runs on a 35W low-power CPU, so the small fan barely spins. At idle and light loads you won't hear it — perfect for a bedroom, office or living room shelf running 24/7.
No server-rack jet engine noise.
WHAT YOU GET
