I had a lot of comments about mini pcs that are compatible with VMware ESXi. The GMKtek Nucbox K10 sports the Ryzen 7 5800U process with 16 threads and also has the Intel i225 2.5 Gbps network adapter, making it fully compatible with ESXi, at least from a consumer hardware/home lab perspective. This video takes a look at the GMKtek Nucbox K10 and running workloads that I had ran on an old Supermicro Xeon-D 1541-based host.
