About mini pcs at Server Hub
Server Hub stocks mini PCs for the way South African teams actually work — silent office desktops that disappear behind a monitor, low-power boxes for home servers and Proxmox labs, and AI mini PCs that run large language models on your desk. The range leads with GMKtec: the EVO-X2 and EVO-X1 Pro AI workstations, and the NucBox K, M and G series for everyday computing.
Every machine is priced in rand with VAT included, with warranty handled locally in Johannesburg. A mini PC draws a fraction of a tower's power and takes almost no desk space, which is why they have become the default choice for offices, digital signage, home labs and edge AI.
Need something bigger? Full-size desktops and workstations carry the expansion and graphics a mini PC cannot, and our AI supercomputers range runs from these mini PCs up to DGX-class systems. Tell us the workload and we will spec it honestly.
Prices include duty and are shown in South African rand.
Frequently asked questions
Which brand of mini PC is best in South Africa?
- For AI and heavy multitasking, GMKtec leads locally with the EVO-X2 (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, up to 128GB unified memory). For a quiet office box or a home server, the NucBox K and G series offer the best value. Server Hub stocks the full GMKtec range, priced in rand.
What is the downside of a mini PC?
- Limited internal expansion — most take two SSDs and no full-size graphics card, so for gaming or GPU rendering a tower still wins. For office work, a home server, Proxmox or local AI inference, a mini PC matches a desktop at a fraction of the size and power draw.
Can a mini PC run a home server or Proxmox?
- Yes. Low idle power (7–15W) and dual-NIC models make mini PCs ideal Proxmox, Plex or home-lab hosts that run 24/7 without a noticeable power bill. The NucBox and EVO series are popular choices.
Are mini PCs good for local AI?
- The AI mini PCs — GMKtec EVO-X2 and EVO-X1 Pro — pair a Ryzen AI NPU with large unified memory (up to 128GB), enough to run 70-billion-parameter language models locally. That is what separates an AI mini PC from an ordinary compact desktop.
