I agree with piranha32 TMM machine are so cheap in US EBAY today. $80 for a Lenovo m80 with I5-10500T and 8gb ram. HP 600 G6 with I5-10500T for less than $100. I run vms and docker using a small TMM machine connected to NAS via 2.5GBe network

Yes, absolutely you need the 4pin EPS 12v power connector I received the same board last week, it is working fine with 24 pin atx power connector and 4 pin EPS 12v connector.

Get well soon! Beat the big C .
