    Anyone using these as a plex or HTPC?

    • 3dprintdeals on 18/08/2025 - 14:55
      +3

      many are using the lower spec Intel N100/N150

      This begin a 8 core 16 thread will be able to do that and more

      BUY then ask. Seriously this is a bargain.

        I saved fortune by canceling Amazon Prime &now I have to think 2x, then decide I don't need it now. Free life is worth much more than consumerism addiction (+ I'm more ethical by not financing US/UK warmongering ;)

          Pro-Chinese talking about consumerism is so ironic. 80% of the world's landfills are filled with useless Chinese goods and packaging.

      • cloudie9 on 18/08/2025 - 16:02

        Me too, buy first and talk later, lol.

    • p1 ama on 18/08/2025 - 21:19

      HTPC is good, worth doing some research on Plex, as it seems that Intel Quicksync offers better performance (hence the popularity of the N100/N150 mini-PCs)

  • kml22 on 18/08/2025 - 14:54

    Thanks OP.

      I've got the Ryzen 5 6600H/16gb (now 32gb - cost me $120)/512gb and its been great. Paid the same as this one and even that price hasn't been repeated and its a lower spec machine.

      You did good

    Missed it but thumbs up for the deal. This is quite powerful for a homeland server or HTPC.

  • theredkrawler on 18/08/2025 - 15:17

    I saw old mates comment in the other mini PC thread and thought I must have been missing something cause this one looked like a way better deal… Embracing my inner ozbargainism, I clicked buy without putting any more thought in to it.

    I came back to check for comments saying "lol you noob, that's worse because of reason x,y,z" and spend the rest of the afternoon feelingbadman.jpg, but hooray! Looks like it was actually a bargain!

    Just to be super annoying, I'm actually planning on using it for an office PC…. the most boring possible use of a bargain.

    • seriousquokka on 18/08/2025 - 15:24
      +1

      This actually makes a great office PC. Very capable CPU, 32gb memory is sweet spot for Win11, 1TB storage will be enough for long time just storing applications and documents. Low profile on the desktop.

      The iGPU it comes with doesn’t have AV1 decode, which is not ideal as a media server.

      • theredkrawler on 18/08/2025 - 15:35
        +3

        The iGPU it comes with doesn’t have AV1 decode, which is not ideal as a media server.

        Good news! I have a Dell R730 and 24 disk JBOD for that!

        I think I spend more in electricity a month to run that server than I just did buying this mini PC :-\

      • TheFunkySalsa on 18/08/2025 - 15:47

        Would it be ok as a Plex type server? Just thinking of putting all my DVDs on backup and then streaming them out. I thought the AV1 feature was more for subscription services.

      Why?

        Pricing error / losing money on it

        • ironworthy on 18/08/2025 - 20:24

          It depends on the store. Sometimes it's an error, in the case like the monitors, they will cancel. sometimes they just want to get rid of stock and do a heavy discount promo

    CURSESSSS

  • park it on 18/08/2025 - 16:11

    How power hungry are these compared to N150?

    • dondiego on 18/08/2025 - 16:32

      Very! only reason I could but did not get it (if it makes you feel better :) )

      • park it on 18/08/2025 - 16:36

        lol… that depends on how much more…

    • mfu on 18/08/2025 - 16:40
      +1

      This one probs consume twice power, but you are comparing N150 with 4 core 4 threads vs R7 5825U with 8 core 16 threads here. The performance is almost 4 times different.

      • park it on 18/08/2025 - 17:07

        Is this overkill for Plex, Home Assistant, Homebridge and WireGuard? Been looking to replace my Pi 4 with broken USB ports.

        • Zerko on 18/08/2025 - 17:35

          How are broken USB ports better than a Pi4?

      • park it on 18/08/2025 - 17:19

        Found this from two years ago.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14241494/redir

        Assuming N95 and N150 consume similar amount, $80/year (twice the power) at 2023 rates is not insignificant.

        Just trying to make myself feel better for missing out on the deal 😂

        • mfu on 18/08/2025 - 17:27

          Using similar comparison:

          Intel N150 TDP is 6 watt CPU benchmark 5474
          Ryzen 7 5825U TDP is 15 watt CPU benchmark 18101

    • bamzero on 18/08/2025 - 16:59

      It's all relative.. idle not much, under load yes but with more performance. Probably not anything you'd notice on your power bill though…

      Sure is. That's why I told everyone, buy now and ask later.

  • dazzles on 18/08/2025 - 17:09

    I got one of these off aliexpress but at what was already a good price. this is an extremely hot price.

    It's good performance, but fan is abit noisy to me at stock though since i run it 24/7 and dont need maximum performance i reduced TDP and its quiet.

    For all you guys that saw this and bought one within the 10 minutes for it to sell out, you are insane, well done.
    Is there any automation for getting notified of bangup deals? Seems I'm always a hour or two late for the really good ones.

    • GreenGuava on 18/08/2025 - 18:06
      +1

      Not really. There is the OzBargain Telegram app, but there's a 10min delay on that from the time that a deal is posted, which wouldn't have been useful in this case. For these kinds of short-lived deals it really is a matter of being online at the right time.

    • TheFunkySalsa on 18/08/2025 - 18:20
      +1

      I'm usually in the same position (watching bargains get snapped up and missing out). It was literally Just me happening to have been online when the deal was posted and then completely disengaging my logical mind and pulling the trigger instantaneously. Act first, think later - the old OzB proverb.

  • ThemDealsThough on 18/08/2025 - 17:55

    I want to run home assistant but also run the device as a media player with Signal RGB for hue display. Anyone know if this device is capable of running Home Assistant OS in virtual and still outputting 4k 120hz SignalRGB Hue?

    • ace310 on 18/08/2025 - 18:37

      Use linux or proxmox or similar hypervisor os. Run HAOS in VM and other things in either Vm or docker/lxc.

      100% you can run multiple services on almost all mini pcs.

    • 3dprintdeals on 18/08/2025 - 18:54

      Easily with proxmox hypervisor

    • Phoebus on 18/08/2025 - 19:13

      You should be able to pass thru the display adapter to whichever VM you wanna use for media or gaming
