Swapped a Pi for a used Dell micro in my closet rack and the thing I didn't expect to miss was GPIO, had to add a cheap Pico for the fan and sensors.

  If the Dell is old enough, you can use a printer port for some GPIO. Pretty trivial to use.

    Memories. A long time ago I used to sell a little board that plugged into a printer port and added a power driver to the outputs and some buffering to the inputs so they were 12V-tolerant.
    Forgot about that until you mentioned it.

    Hah, memories.
    Wrote a Turbo Pascal program for that. Good times.
