    Powerful Opnsense router just in time for the NBN upgrade.

      Picked one up in the last deal and migrated my Opnsense from an Optiplex over to it a few days ago. Great to have something so tiny and so capable that I can just mount it on the rear of my desk drawers

        Huge power savings going from an optiplex to a mini PC.

    • RedHab on 18/08/2025 - 04:40

      Perhaps - I'd check some benchmarks, they might have put the 2.5GBps NICS on 1xPCIe 3 which means you won't be able to run them at full speed.

      Best to check some benchmarks first.

      I got a 4-porter 2.5gbe from AliExpress for $200 like 3 months ago. This is much smaller and nicer. But yes n150 can handle gigabit qos-cake no problems in openwrt, and allegedly can do up to 5gbit. So more than enough for this 2.5gbe connection

    Sorry this is a standard price.

    Around 150 will be a deal.

    In fact you can buy the gmktec version with wifi6 and otherwise same spec for around the same price.

      N100/N150 is more like 6th/7th gen Intel for CPU performance with higher efficiency, except with much better onboard graphics.

    You can get this (16GB DDR4 and 512 GB SSD):

    for AU$156.66 + tax (around AUD 171 ish) tomorrow with two USB C ports (one for power and one as a proper USB-C for display, peripherals etc).
    I bought one last time and it is a great little unit and very quiet for a daily use of browsing (multiple tabs), word documents, excel sheets etc.
    I am truly blown away with how much this little unit can do so quietly.
    I am going to get another one tomorrow most probably :-), even though I already have one (in a true OZB spirit).

    • ahmeni on 17/08/2025 - 23:08

      The main draw for this one is the dual NICs.

    I have been running home assistant and frigate on one of these and am very happy so far.
    Dual 2.5G Intel ethernet USB-c and an m.2 slot that works with coral AI for $229 is what sealed the deal for me.

    • CoreNex on 20/08/2025 - 18:17

      Can I ask how you got both HA and frigate onto one of these? Is there a guide you used?

      • repeat on 20/08/2025 - 21:32
        +1

        I installed Home Assistant OS following here:
        https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/generic-x86-64
        then followed YT guides like this:
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRjKu0Y6USY

        Also note if you put a coral M.2 accelerator under the SSD it can get warm, a heatsink helps.
        For me, I used a sandwich of aluminium sheet between two thermal pads between the coral and the SSD, which reduced the temperature from 80 to below 60.

        • kampret on 22/08/2025 - 09:12

          Hey mate, where did you buy the Coral m.2 from? I need one for my mini pc. Cheers.

          • repeat on 22/08/2025 - 12:39

            @kampret: I am using this one from Mouser
            Note it is dual TPU but the PC will only find one TPU, for me this was fine.
            Also you will need some thermal pads and some thin aluminium sheet in between them a bit wider than the SSD/Coral so the heat can escape:
            I have not checked this heatsink from amazon but maybe it could work with/without some mod (the edges may need to flare more, and there may not be sufficient material sticking out either side.

            Sandwich:
            (top)
            M.2 SSD
            Thermal pad
            Aluminium Heatsink sheet with "wings" (take care with this - if you DIY may have sharp edges)
            Thermal Pad
            Coral M.2
            (PCB-bottom)

    • Agret on 20/08/2025 - 19:51

      Not sure about Mac mini m5 but the Mac mini m4 pro equivalent is the GMKtec EVO-X2

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009639372645.html

      Don't know if any sellers have coupons available for it

      It's $3141 pre-tax on AliExpress for 128GB RAM & 2tb SSD or $2450 for 64GB RAM & 2tb SSD

      The M4 Pro mac Mini maxes at 64gb RAM, once I upgrade it to 64gb RAM and 2TB SSD the cost is $3999 so the GMKtec is a lot better value.

    How upgradable as the SSD in these things? I want to chuck 2-4TB SSD in and am happy to sacrifice Wi-Fi or replace the existing SSD.

    This one is also at ATL (Geekom N150, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD for $247) but lacks the dual LAN and DDR4 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0F9KYM1FH

    • impoze on 18/08/2025 - 09:43

      I would pick the aoostar for DDR5

      Standard m.2, you can remove the wifi card and replace with storage

      • bjt on 22/08/2025 - 23:21

    • repeat on 18/08/2025 - 17:20

      It takes a single 2242 M.2 drive. It comes with SATA, nvme works also, but runs hotter.

  • bjt on 18/08/2025 - 10:05

    It's now $223, making it the ATL.

    I really want something like this but with an extra m2 2280 SSD slot for writing logs.

    The form factor, CPU, high speed RAM, and 2x2.5GE NIC on this is excellent to be a gateway otherwise.

  • vongole83 on 18/08/2025 - 10:56

    So could I do the following with this:

    • Use Proxmox to run both Home Assistant and a Plex server
    • Remove the Wifi M2 and install a second SSD
    • Connect a USB-C HDD caddy for TB-sized drives

    Is this powerful enough to deliver this, or am I better off waiting for a more beefy unit to go on sale?

  • The Hawk on 18/08/2025 - 12:24

    My current pfsense box is running on a dedicated 4th Gen Intel box. I do consider upgrading to something smaller and more power efficient and this (potentially at least) covers the possibility of 2 Gbps internet… But without a real bargain price, I'll probably hold off until it becomes an actual requirement.

    • impoze on 18/08/2025 - 12:28

      I recently did that upgrade.

      PFsense on an old Lenovo SFF i3-2120 to a Dell Micro 9070

      Could have also gone the route of mini pc with dual NIC.

  • plaking on 18/08/2025 - 12:30

    These have two 2.5GB INTEL network interface. A lot of these mini PCs have Realtek NICs. I've read that OPNsense works much better with intel NICs, hence why people are recommending this as a good OPN/pfsense router.

    • impoze on 18/08/2025 - 12:47

      2.5GB intel NICs vs 1GB Realtek NICs. I guess it depends on use case. Some people never use wifi.

      • railspider on 18/08/2025 - 14:28

        I was going to plug this into the TV and exclusively use wifi (router too far away). So I guess I'll have to sacrifice the Intel NIC…or wait for a different device
