I have 2 of them with older 6 core CPUs and 32gb each. I also added a 10g SFP card in the PCIe slot so they would have a bit more umph.
For 380 each I would not bother, and I would look at the Minisforum MS-01 as it has built in dual 10g SFPs and dual 2.5g RJ45's plus a PCIe slot.

at ~80 euro's more you get more CPU, faster ram if you can find it, more storage, and more networking.
Nice setup! Is that a Minisforum below the optiplex?
Haha I read your comment the wrong way around the first time thinking you got a Minisforum MS-01 for like β¬460. That would have been a great deal π
Because searching for what a new MS-01 with i5 and 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD cost is more towards β¬700. Haven't found a lot of offerings for a used one in my region and buying new currently I think I would have to pay too much.
Yes thats the MS-A1 which is a great little box but not as flexible as the MS-01. It lacks the PCIe slot, and only has 2x 2.5g Ethernet ports.
You probably wont find the MS-01 used since its not like the Lenovo's with their mass market deployment as office PCs.
As for price, https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810143174659.html? I was looking at the barebones since the prices on DDR5 and NVME's are nuts right now. I have spare NVME drives so all I would need is RAM and I can find it cheaper than the resellers who mark it up when they install it for you.
That looks nice, what sort of a container box is this? I always had just boxes all over the place, but now in a house where I got a chance to put it all into a neater place. So looking for something like your box there. Also appreciate any kind of price guide for it.
The wall mount rack is a used ACP Netshelter. I was able to find it on Craigslist a few years ago. The rackmount face plates are custom 3d printed but unfinished as I abandoned the project due to life.
Thanks, found a rack that will fit me
That blue led on the Minisforum sure is bright! BTW could you share the file for the bracket of the network card? I also have an M920q with a 10GbE card (single SFP), but I still have to figure out a bracket so at the moment it's open, just a bit of tape under the card to not short it on the ports below.

thanks
Are those custom 3d printed rack mounts for the ThinkCentres? Got an STL to share? I'd love to print rack mounts for mine (m910q)
I may, it was a massive work in progress that I never finished because life decided to beat the crap out of me for the last 3 years. I was trying to build a modular system that was 19" and 10" rack compatible and would have storage options as well. In this case its 2x Seagate external drives, and a WD external drive plugged in via USB3 and setup in a CEPH cluster.
