Original Coupon Deal

Decent price for a quad core homelab solution.

Do note this is a shorter case than the BEH version. It supports M.2 SSD (NVME/SATA) only. No 2.5" SATA.
I personally prefer these as they fit better in my server cabinet. Supports 64GB RAM according to this post

    What's the special part of this ram?

    • chaosjester on 09/03/2021 - 18:48

      Not really special, but its usually the voltage that gets people in to trouble.

      • deme on 09/03/2021 - 18:59

        Thanks I didn't see the voltage just so-dims

    Have this and I absolutely love it as my 24/7 simple NAS machine. testing with kW meter, it idles at ~4-7 watt/hr for windows OS (16gb ram 1TB SSD, no nvme yet), and idle ~2-3 watt/hr on mint Linux OS.

    A low power on idle machine that's more than capable of doing moderately CPU heavy stuff (for a High Wh) on demand at this price gets a big approval tick for me as a backup copy machine.

    That's a very good CPU for the price. Tempting.

    that is a kickass price, I paid 380 for it a couple of months back and I thought that was cheap
