Please be aware this is for the barebone configuration, which means no RAM or SSD. Factor in the cost of supplying those when evaluating the total price.
$5 more at their Amazon store. I'd personally buy through Amazon. They have extremely long wait times before shipping. In some cases months. People also have had many negative things to say about their customer service.
A note -

While I love these mini PCs(I've owned four Minisforum PCs, now), they aren't without their weird bugs. Myself and a lot of other 790 Pro users found that they randomly reset about once a day. Turning the RAM speed down from 5600 to 5200 solved it.
Also, more rarely(every 3 months or so), all USB becomes unresponsive and even survives reboots. Unplugging for about 30s solves it.

I'm not saying not to buy them, they are a fantastic value. But if you want a more bug-free experience, you may want to look at a NUC.

Great deal for a decently outfitted machine. You could easily play a lot of the latest games at 1080p on medium to low settings.

The Firebat version also has better cooling due to the fan on top. You can turn off the RGB light too if that's annoying to you.

Seeing about $19 more after tax here because MF doesn't apply tax.

Gosh, this price point is quite tempting...Trying to figure out whether to grab something with a 780m or if the 680m would suffice...

this is the barebone version right? So it shouldn't come with a Windows install.

I have this same system, barely used FS on eBay for $379 with 32gb, 256 ssd, Win10 pro. Great little system. Played AOE2 DE in 4k without issue. You can set graphics mem to auto, 2, 4, 8GB which appears as dedicated GPU memory even though it's using system memory.

Selling because didn't use it enough and recently got the Asus 14" gaming laptop deal.

Pick up a cheap 1tb-2tb nvme on Amazon and do this. Free windows 11 pro. Microsoft enough money.

bought my mom this version just not as a barebones version

so, what i will say is 1080 p is possible but its better to dial it down to 720p and lower power available to it


the fan when ramped up is loud and annoying as hell (good news... you could theoretically store it in a closet with cables coming out so you wouldn't need to hear it... but...

this isn't really a gaming machine, its a nice low power machine for light computing (web browsing, video/music consumption etc....) but i will say if you want an idea i limited the power to around 25 watts which kept it mostly silent (couldn't really hear the fan) and ran elden ring at 720p 30fps with no issues --- it will run it at 1080p 30 but the fan noise is so high pitched and loud it would drive you insane eventually

if you are wondering why i was testing games if i wasn't getting it for gaming - it came off the easiest way to stress the machine to dial it down to something i know my mom would enjoy
