Don't see why not. The N97 scores higher than what I used (i-5 6500t) on benchmarks. Should work fine for the games you mentioned.

I got one of these straight from GMKtec. Installed a fresh Win 11 and everything was flawless. Using it as a music player (JRiver) and works great. I wanted to try this brand looking forward to a new HTPC in the coming months. Very pleased.

Would this be good for running 24 hours a day for a modded minecraft gaming server?

Slightly more gets you more power, a more modern CPU, and is way more energy efficient (about half the power usage).

Minecraft servers are heavily CPU-bound, often requiring strong single-threaded performance, so stay away from this N97 or any of the N series. Many recommend at least a mid-range desktop CPU (e.g., Intel i5, Ryzen 5) for smooth performance, especially with multiple players or larger modpacks

doesnt seem a great deal since 16GB/500SSD N100 Mini Pc's are ~$150 all day long on Amazon?

A quick search pulled up a Beelink (reputable AFAIK) N100 16GB 500GB SSD, beats this in all key aspects for 149


Is gmktec just that much more respected a brand or something than beelink? I honestly dont know. I've used beelink.

Edit: Is very small and cute if those are primary objectives.

Edit: I kinda want it it's so cute lol. would make a neat emulation/security camera/whatever box. but i'm guessing i would never actually use it. and maybe when i find a use two years from now, i'd worry the specs would be too outdated.

The n97 is actually faster but yes, uses more power to achieve that.

No OS is included in that one just as an FYI. Not a problem for those in the know or if you want to purchase a cheap grey market windows key.
