Wyse 3040 makes for a perfect Pi-Hole box

[Fritz]

Been running one for several months now and its been flawless.

1. Cheap.
2. Low power. No fans or other moving part.
3. Tiny. Fits just about anywhere.
4. Pi-Hole is just plain awesome.

I'm using one as a Proxmox qdevice and NUT server for my UPS. Not a bad little box for cheaper than a pi.

I just picked up another one for $20. It was sold for "Parts / Not Working" but the description said the problem was "No Boot Device Found".

I knew that this meant the Thin Client OS had been removed and when this happens there's no trace of the internal storage to be found anywhere but loading another OS, in my case, Diet-Pi, brings it back to life. Now I have a cheap spare in case I ever need it.
