Hermes Agent on Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q (used)

Item: Hermes Agent
Rating: 4
Author: PocketClaw

Verdict

The €150-250 used ThinkCentre M75q running Hermes Agent is the cheapest credible workhorse setup in 2026. You give up some performance vs a current-gen mini PC and you accept the refurb caveats (worn fans possible), but for first-time self-hosters the price-to-capability is unbeatable.

Setup notes

Verify the unit on arrival: thermal throttle test, fan noise, NVMe SMART. Replace thermal paste if the unit is older than 3 years. Debian 12 + Docker + Caddy. Hermes Agent installs as on any Intel mini PC.
