Juno is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M93 tiny purchased from eBay with the intent of running it as a Plex media server for local use only. It came fitted with the CPU and RAM, but no storage or power supply. These were purchased separately, with the SSD being brand new.
Like Callisto, Juno is equipped with a low power Intel processor, though it's a few years older. This means it can keep power consumption down when idling and not actively serving video.
Juno is also almost exactly the same size as its sibling USFF PC, Callisto. Its small size and inconspicuous fully black design could make it seem like a small set-top box at a first glance, or to someone who didn't know what it was.
Juno is configured to enter hibernation at night time and wake up in the morning to save power. This is through Cron and a BIOS RTC wakeup alarm.
The first thing I did to Juno after removing it from the box was to open the cover and refresh the thermal paste on the CPU. It wasn't too bad but was a bit dry. I had to find some SSD sized screws as despite coming with the 2.5" caddy it did not also come with mounting screws for the drive.
