Runs Ubuntu Linux great, added another 4gb ram stick. I unplugged DVD drive it's ace more power.

This would be perfect if this was in a smaller form-factor. It could be in a case in less than half its size.

Someone could make money if they 3-d printed one

Will this work to add a second Ethernet port? I see that this PC has a PCIe X16 slot

Nice price. I'd have ordered one, if it could hold two 3.5" for the two NAS drives I just ordered. Don't really want to keep one as an external drive.

with a little modification, you actually can put two 3.5 hdds in it(by removing the cdrom drive). I did, really happy with it as my OMV nas.

Mine is unfortunately rebooting every 15 minutes or so... RMA won't replace it but will repair it. Definitely a hassle. That said, great deal and I think worth the risk.

I'd welcome any tips from people who have dealt with the return process or pointer to the most active thread on this one, where I'll be posting shortly in Deal Talk.

Nice price and power consumption. Anyone get ESXi or another VM host so to install? I know it's a 4c4t Celeron so can't fill it up too much…

A previous thread mentioned that the PCIe slot and M.2 slot share the PCIe lanes. So you cannot use both at the same time.

It has two SO-DIMM slots for DDR4 laptop RAM. The motherboard seems to max out at 2400mHz, so no need to go faster. Most people have had no issue with 8GB sticks, a few 16GB sticks have worked but I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah, me too, unfortunately. Even after adding it to the cart and going to checkout.

Me too. May be the +/- 12% OP referenced. I'd rather bite at $88
