HELLO THERE.

I bring EVEN more tiny PCs that can fit in your pocket. We have some excess, and want to get rid of them. We also have the lovely M700 i5-6400T | 8GB | 128GB desktops for $169!!!! Similar to the previous Dell 3020M, these Lenovo's come with 8GB ram and 128GB SSD. The CPU (i5-4570T) is a dual core / 4 thread processor, hence the price difference compared to the 3020M , however is more than fine for a basic office/home use PC, or mini server! Each will come with a WIFI 300mbps as they unfortunately did not come with WiFi dongles installed. All the specs are down below with some upgrades available. 1 year warranty on all plus cables included ( power adapter). Click and collect is available from our Yarraville, Melbourne 3013 warehouse. Both Courier and Parcel/Express post is available as well as Click and Collect ( Shipping should be cheap as they are quite small!). Allow 7 days processing to get these orders out.

      Eh I disagree, they are only a dual core CPU and are slower in multi-core workloads than even a 2011-era Intel Core i5 2400. Spending a tiny bit more on a quad core makes a lot of sense unless all you want to is some pretty basic stuff.

    Do you get any dual NIC versions of these?

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 12/08/2022 - 18:53
      +15

      Hi Oxxy, for using this as a router there are two options, one is to use VLAN with a managed switch and run this as router on a stick. The second option is to replace the miniPCIe wifi adapter with a miniPCIe NIC. The slight tricky part is that there's usually no guarantee on how well the RJ45 fit.

      If you are comfortable with using Taobao then in the past I've bought from this shop that has the RJ45 tailor-made to various TinyMiniMicro models to achieve non-destructive perfect fitment. They've got options for i210AT/i211AT/i225V-B3 and Realtek 8111F. I had an i225V-B3 and costed around 35 AUD delivered, took around 3-4 weeks. Worked perfectly with ESXi 7 with the community fling driver.

      The shop name is 小黑工业电脑. Not sure if this link will work: https://inn-int.world.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.1000126.2.6a712… , Taobao is a bit finicky for overseas traffic, from memory it won't let you see the page until you've made a login.

      • Oxxy on 12/08/2022 - 19:11

        Hi, really appreciate the reply.

        I am aware of the miniPCI-e trick etc, but i'd run the firewall virtualized, so need something a hypervisor would be happy with. Preferably esxi (as you mentioned), i'll check the options out.

        Thanks again

        • [Deactivated] on 12/08/2022 - 20:46

          The other option is a USB 1 gig ethernet dongle.

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 12/08/2022 - 21:35
          +2

          The Lenovo Tiny's default NIC is usually I219 and is supported by ESXi7 out of the box.
          I210AT is also supported by ESXi7 out of the box. I225V needs to add the community fling driver to make it work in ESXi7.

          I210AT is a server class chip and is well supported everywhere but it is a GbE. Note I211 is actually inferior to I210 despite the model number. I225V is designated to be consumer class so it's not formally supported by ESXi.

          Some of the higher-end Lenovo Tiny boxes have a PCIe slot that can be used with a riser and then can be combined with I350T4 or the likes of Mellanox for +10GbE. I have not tried these but some people definitely had successes with this option.

          USB NIC is definitely a viable option too if you don't mind the look.

        • Budju on 13/08/2022 - 16:12

          Would use a tonne of power why bother

        • xmagic on 13/08/2022 - 21:50

          I have a M93p SFF (not tiny). At least in Proxmox pcie passthrough doesn't work at all. But you don't have to pass through NICs to firewall as virtIO nics should be able to handle 1~5GbE. If you're into passthrough and it's a must have, you should consider real servers (either tower or rack).

      • desync on 12/08/2022 - 22:33

        id avoid realtek, especially if you are using linux or freebsd (pfsense)

        stick with intel or axis chipsets

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 13/08/2022 - 00:19

          Does Realtek work well with Proxmox? with the impending Broadcom takeover of VMWare I am starting to think about migrating from the free ESXi to Proxmox

          • desync on 13/08/2022 - 19:10

            @CoronavirusVaccine: i had problems with realtek, driver would crash as soon as the connection was pushed past 100Mb, connect would come back after a brief dropout period

            fortunately the following tweak got the drivers working fine
            ethtool -K <your eth interface> gso off gro off tso off tx off rx off rxvlan off txvlan off sg off

            this worked on the following device, no idea if it will work on others
            Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

            axis chipsets seem to have much better support on linux, both in terms of speed and stability, might cost a little more

            that being said if you can pickup a RTL8153 really cheap and can set those parameters as soon at the eth device is up on boot then you should be ok, at least for now haha - if your WAN connection is < 100Mb then it might just be ok without switching off all those features

            pfsense (freebsd) was a bust with realtek, stable but wouldn't pass 40Mb, even with beta realtek drivers

            • CoronavirusVaccine on 13/08/2022 - 21:48

              @desync: Thank you for sharing your experience. I also have a RTL8153 USB adapter but only used it for a very short period as my WAN port on NBN that is <100Mbps so never knew it was this bad.

              The really annoying thing is that I like AMD processors for mini PCs for their graphics capability, but almost always the AMD ones comes with Realtek NICs. And these Realtek chips means those mini PCs can't be transitioned to the hypervisor host / router when the retirement time comes. Really destroys a lot of the value.

      If you're looking for a good option for a router, I would just jump on Ali express and order a qotom. I have been through multiple appliances trying to find one that is a perfect fit. Mine was like $250 from the qotom official store or something and it has 5x i225-V nics. Slap in an SSD and some ram you have lying around and away you go 🙂

    Can you use it as a work PC and run multiple screens out of it ..also how many ports does it comes with for plugging in the keyboards and mouse ?

      I had previously picked up one of these devices from another seller with similar specs - Lenovo M93P (i5 4590T, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, VGA & DP)

      Yes, you can run multiple monitors. I've tested this by connecting my M93P to two monitors at the same time, namely 32" monitor @ 4K 60Hz via DP and 28" monitor/TV @ 1080p 60Hz via VGA.

      Regarding ports, as per OP's description…

      Front ports 2 x USB 3.0 (1 x AlwaysOn)… Rear ports 3 x USB 3.0…

    This size, power consumption and performance makes SBC’s like Raspberry Pi’s look very costly. And I’m a big fan of Pi’s.
    These are a great platform for simple office/homework tasks, emulation, home automation and lots of other situations where you don’t require cutting edge gaming/video editing type performance.

      Emulation and home automation sounds very intriguing.

      • mskeggs on 12/08/2022 - 20:46

        Retroarch for emulation, maybe openHab for automation? People here can chip in.

        Just watched an intriguing video by ETA Prime on YouTube where he goes over turning an old office/mini pc into an emulation box using Batocera, worth checking out if you're keen on this use case.

    Someone give me an excuse to buy this… already have an unraid server for jellyfin and storage

      Buy it to run Home Assistant OS on!

      • JoeSchmogan on 12/08/2022 - 22:48

        Will this double as a media server + home assistant base?

        I've just started (and yet to peer too far) down the rabbit hole of smart home automation. But HA seems like the way to go eventually.

        • madpig83 on 13/08/2022 - 06:16

          HA is awesome! I jumped in about 2 years ago now and slowly getting bigger and bigger.

          I'm pretty confident you can run HA in a virtual machine and run a media server at the same time but understand that's a bit more complicated.

          If I didn't have a Pi already I'd look down that route
