The KeepItTechie video description compares building a homelab around one powerful server with spreading services across several mini PCs. It describes a large server as an option for more memory, expansion, and many virtual machines on a single Proxmox host. Smaller PCs are presented as a way to separate workloads, experiment with clusters, and grow over time.
The description cautions that neither approach automatically solves reliability, power consumption, or maintenance. It also introduces a hybrid setup as a possibility, alongside a discussion of how Josh makes these choices in his own homelab.
