It's Dell's fiscal year end.
The problem with those n100 is the reliability, these dells are robust and can be easily fix when something go wrong.
These will get about the same Geekbench score as the N100 for single core, and about 30% faster in multicore.

If space and power is no issue, then sure, we can compare the use case with a unit five times the size and much higher TDP.

Anyone use these machines for blue iris?
I got a similar machine from Dell refurbished last year. I use Proxmox to run multiple virtual machines in parallel, one of which is a Windows 10 virtual machine dedicated to Blue Iris. I also have another virtual machine running Frigate, which has great object detection. So I use Frigate for notifications of people/cars and Blue Iris to record and view historical footage. And I have a third virtual machine for Home Assistant. The computer runs them all in parallel with no issues, and Proxmox makes it easy to monitor CPU and RAM usage to make sure there is margin.

Here are the specs of the machine I'm using: Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro, 1x Intel Core i5 6 Core (i5-8500T) 2.10 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD. I paid $188 at the time

I did upgrade the RAM to 16 GB for less than $20 (got used RAM on eBay) and added a small SSD to run the operating systems.

Also, if they come back in stock, my Capital One Venture X had 4% statement credit.

Yeah I get that, but reliability is where these units shine. You probably can chuck this out the window and it still runs. The mini PC are great for its size and power consumption. But you can't just ignore the issues that comes with it.

Looks like the available models are coming and going. I picked up an i5 9500T plus SSD model for just under $190 shipped. These are great little machines - quiet and robust. If you're using it for a Linux box make sure to grab the windows key from it before you reformat. Cheers
isn't that key built into the Bios? my 3060 was no problem with keys.

How ideal would this be for a NAS? I assume 2 HDD bays would be the max on these

i'd consider buying a low profile gpu for better fps, but i imagine out of the box it would have moderate frame rates. Just guessing though.

I bought a 3060 with similar specs and have primary, parity and a usb nvme cache drive and unraid runs fine. Its a bit more sensitive compared to my dedicated unraid nas but overall it would be fine if you just have a primary/parity setup.
