    Something like this is ideal for a firewall/router/vm host.

    Enough to run gaming servers/web servers/mail servers.

    So much cheaper than some of the routers.

    Plug NBN directly in to it.

    • what does plug nbn directly in to it mean. ?

      I recall testing from my nbn hfc box ethernet to my pc once when i had a 1000mbps 1 month trial and it got faster speeds than my router.

      do you plug it in directly in one ethernet port on the mini pc and plug another ethernet from the mini pc to router?

      • -6

        Think he just means it has ethernet..

      • +12

        The Mini PC becomes the router. Modem / WAN Internet plugs into one port, and then the other port is connected to a switch. Switch would then be connected to Wifi and other devices.

        But you'd need to install specialised software like OPNsense or pfSense.

        • Oh right interesting

          yeah i've always read here and there about OPNsense / pfSense in these mini pc posts but never knew exactly what it is about.

          That makes sense thx.

      • Yes you could do that. You'd need to do some config on it to set networking up appropriately. I haven't checked compatibility but something like openwrt might be an option.

        If your router is still in the design, it will still be a bottleneck. How much faster was the pc?

        • I can't recall if it was my old router or not

          But will see when the September nbn upgrades come and my nbn100 goes to nbn500 at the same price or whatever it was.

          Likely the issue is I have a long ethernet cable that connects to the router in a different room to the nbn box and that ethernet cable is definitely damaged lol.

          • @AeymothSky: I was about to say the length (in a house) wouldn't be an issue - but damage absolutely will slown it down as data will constantly need to be retransmitted.

            If replacing the cable isnt straightforward then you could look at a mesh wifi solution. Current tech (6E, 7) can exceed 1000 mbps.

            • @Bargainer99: I just need to find where the lost tools are to make a new ethernet cable.

              That mesh wifi stuff seems a lot more expensive so unlikely

          • @AeymothSky:

            that ethernet cable is definitely damaged

            It may also be that the RJ45 plug(s) are damaged or not terminated properly. I bought 2 long cables off eBay and at least 1 plug on each were faulty.

            Reterminated them and now getting 2.5Gb speeds.

            • @Dogsrule: it's damaged cuz it used to just run along the floor and i literally saw parts of it cut off lmao.

              But somehow still works so I haven't bothered fixing it lol.

              Might be causing me packet loss on wifi on my pcs though but the weird thing is i always have more stable wifi by doing wifi usb tethering via a phone

              • @AeymothSky:

                it's damaged cuz it used to just run along the floor and i literally saw parts of it cut off lmao.

                Lol fair enough.

    • Would this work as a dedicated Zoom host box?

    • +1

      This does not have Intel NIC from what I can tell.

  • +1

    I’ve been wanting to setup a NAS for my Plex server and was eyeing the WTR Pro N150. Would this mini pc plus some form of drive enclosure be more economical? I’m pretty tech savvy but have never played with network storage before.

    • -5

      Stremio + Torrentio is infinitely more economical imo. I understand the accomplishment of running a Plex server, but switching to Stremio/Torrentio felt like an absolute no brainer once I'd done it

      • +3

        until it gets taken down. They're great for replacing streaming services, but offline/share-watch remotely/Native app for OS's and NAS/own videos/etc plex just works.

        • +2

          Exactly. Stremio is great, but it's still streaming.

        • +1

          is there a guide for jellyfin since i dont wanna pay 4 plex lol

          • @AeymothSky: google.com.au

            Emby is another option.

            I paid $au100 back in the day for a lifetime, so I've not tried. I would have stuck with Kodi if it had server support where it remember what shows/movies I'd watched and where I was up to.

            • @M00Cow: I don't wanna spend any monies so i guess jellyfin it is lol

              ive used kodi with some iptv thingy but dont know much about that either

              • @AeymothSky: I run a little box like this with Jellyfin as a server. Easy to setup if you've ever self-hosted anything before. The N100/150 can do transcoding to ensure compatibility across clients devices. Then I have a client at each TV (Google TV or mini-pc) running either the Jellyfin app for Google TV or a Jellyfin plugin on Kodi for a mini-pc.

                Jellyfin keeps track of your watch list etc, while Kodi provides a nice interface for non-Google devices.

                This isn't the only way to do it, but it's a nice setup and provides flexibility if I need to replace any component down the track, such as for new codecs.

                • @bikebot: thnaks for the info :D

                  and I'm guessing there's a way to make it so u can connect on an outwide network/out of your house?

                  also any sites u use to see like what's hot on netflix and the other streaming apps to find new shows?

            • +2

              @M00Cow: Emby is great. No regrets about using Emby instead of plex or jellyfin.

      • Streaming can suck it

    • +2

      Short answer is these aren't great for NAS because of the lack of ports for drives internally and no external SATA port. You don't really want to run a Nas with USB connected storage in my opinion.

      • +1

        You don't really want to run a Nas with USB connected storage in my opinion.

        no you don't. I find USB drives more likely to have fatal crashes losing your data.

        • how come?

          usb flash drives or portable hdd/ssd in eclosure?

          i have a friend who runs a raspberry pi as a nas with some external hard drives

    • +2

      yeah you're better off with one of those second hand Small Form Factor (SFF) dell/hp/Lenovo PC's. As you can add internal HDD for your NAS, run your fav OS. I've got a QNAP nas, but I run Plex/Arr (Sonarr/radarr, etc), SABnzbd, Qtorrent, etc off a cheap SFF PC. But you could also use it as a NAS

      like this
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/899632

    • Cheaper maybe, but I'd suggest getting something that can handle hard drives properly like the wtr pro.

      NAS isn't too resource intense generally so if really suggest starting out with an old tower, any old tower will do, as long as it has space to stick hard drives and sata ports. It may cost more to run but you can learn a lot then decide if you want better hardware to spend the money. I'm using a $100 dell tower with a 4th gen i5 at the moment and it's fine, now I know what I'm doing and now about it in happy to spend the money on a wtr pro when a decent offer comes round for it and transplant my array and OS over to that.

    • @Elderlymango use something like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/907153 because it comes with the drive bays that you'll need.

  • +1

    Almost had me and then DDR4….

    • +3

      What more do you want for a mini PC sub $200?

      • +4

        There have been DDR5 machines for under $200.

      • +4

        They always want more for less. And it's apparently never enough

    • +9

      From what I've read, with these boxes there is negligible performance difference between DDR4 and DDR5.

      • +1

        Outside of gaming it is negligible everywhere isn't it?

  • Dang… Missed it . Out of stock

    • The lightning deal is expired. But the coupon $50 isn’t I think

  • I’m really tempted. Been looking for some cheap pc I can load Linux on for a play.
    I just didn’t want anything intel based

    • +1

      I'd be on the lookout for something like this (except amd) they're $60

      https://technologylocker.com.au/collections/desktops-all-in-…

      • Oh thanks!!

      • I don't have a personal computer and my work has just locked down the work laptops such that it can't be used for anything personal.

        All I do is a tiny bit of word processing, Gmail and ordering groceries. I do all this sitting at my desk at home. I don't really want to buy a brand new laptop for just that. I have a number of external monitors and keyboards etc so this $60 mini PC sounds good.

        Other than the fact that I will have to load an operating system etc, are there any downsides?

  • Sold out

    • And it’s back, got one

  • and goneeeeee…

  • it's back but $50 more

  • it's just a shame that these aren't full usb c but I understand that the motherboards for those are more expensive

  • Missed out

  • The power connection looks unusual for such a device … like a 240v figure-8-style connector, like my old shaver.

    • That's actually a good pick-up - every one of these mini PC's I've seen including the ones I own have an external plug pack with a DC barrel connector.

      This one must have an internal power supply which is unusual.

  • +1

    missed out even though I have 4 mini PCs already …

  • Ugh been waiting for a deal on a mini with dual NIC..

  • Question: if i hve old synology ns nd wnt to use. Mini pc like this to run plex and docker from the nas, do i have to install nas o/s on the mini pc? And also reformat the nas and start from scratch? Or i can leave the nas as it is (with synology o/s) ? Confused. Thanks.

  • +1

    What's the "no load" power consumption of something like this?

    Might be a good alternative to a Raspberry Pi5 to run things like Home Assistant, PiHole, etc.

    • +1

      It's a great alternative. These things sip power. This N150 chip should idle around 10W. If power consumption is your goal, you're better off with an N100 that idles at 6W.

      • +1

        10W is not great; second hand skylake 1L form factor PCs idle at around 8w and those things are almost 10 years old and can be found for under $100 on eBay

        • LOL, there is absolutely zero difference between an 8W draw and a 10W draw - neither will make any noticeable difference to your power bill.

          • @Nom:

            there is absolutely zero difference between an 8W draw and a 10W draw

            24/7 draw it's a 20% difference which is not nothing

          • @Nom: So why should anyone spend double to buy the one at slightly higher power draw?

        • I'd be curious what skylake iteration you have that performs as well as an n150 at the same TDP.

          • @philotex: 6500t and 6400t, I have a cluster of Lenovo m900 running proxmox; took out the m.2 wifi and put in 2.5gbe secondary NICs

  • +1

    I'm using a N100 as a daily driver. This looks similar.
