OP One challenge I have for you. How do you install a 2 slot LP GPU into this? I think it's only going to fit a single slot card with limit airflow?

Not sure man. probably you need to play with the card or thew chassis. I know T1000 will fit because I have one in my ThinkStation Tiny.

Just released yesterday, I don't think anyone knows. Couldn't find any pre-release reviews of the device. Bought it to give it a try.
The i9 12th Gen is only a little bit slower than the 13th Gen that is on sale as well, but not worth the price difference.

looks like $350 Minisforum NPB6 i7 13th gen from black friday is a better deal.

$200 for two more SFP ports is too much i think.

I need SFP+ & to have it integrated in a mini form factor is incredible. With this, I can finally get these TB3 (thunderbolt 3) ones out of the home lab rack.

At this price, there's no reason to buy old used workstations to run a home server anymore.

This deal makes other SSD and m.2 based NAS's (cough cough ZIMA cough cough) look like overpriced and underpowered JOKES.

10g CAN be affordable, and still have plenty of m.2 slots (and a 2.5 slot) for fast storage.

This would make an incredible NAS, game server, Plex server, powerful mini workstation ... Whatever the fetch you wanna throw at it.

Seriously, what you're getting for your $540 in this thing is an INSANELY good deal. Like, I'm struggling for words right now. If you don't see it, you probably won't make good use of what it has and should buy something else.

If you know, you know, and this is INSANELY good.

Also, if you want to know more about why this is so incredible, ask your questions. I don't even need this, but I want it hella bad ...
