I agree Its a big jump but it's a 400 jump, not 900. That's a a big difference.

Right. 400 is less than half of 900. Somebody else said it would cost another 900.

This is a pretty solid build. Ends up being basically $1000 total with the 5% off from their email list serve. That's with 32 GB OF RAM and 1 TB SSD and Windows 11 Pro.

Plus you can connect a GPU if you already own one through the OCuLink. Could be a powerful and efficient Plex server. May be overkill though.

It all depends on what you want.

I just picked up 64GB (2x32GB DDR5 SODIMM 5600) for $350 from facebookmarketplace. I can sell this for $700 or sell my old RAM for $350 (32GB 16x2).

And right now the only hard drive I would buy is a used SK Hynix P041 2TB.

p.s. my RAM that I got for $350 (today FB marketplace) can be purchased at Amazon for $1152.22.

So LAST WEEK...

AceMagic was selling their F5A 470 HX with 32GB 8000 soldered and 1TB gen 4 FOR.... drum roll please.... FOR $918 on ebay after coupon code.

To me that was the best deal around if you are OK with 32GB.

Ah yeah so we should all base our price assumptions off the fact that someone on FB marketplace tool a huge L?

Sarcasm doesn't always translate well through text smart guy. For sarcasm to work you have to assume the person being sarcastic is intelligent.

Put "Barebones" in title...

Also, this is a bad deal. The AceMagic F5A (same model) with the Ryzen 9 AI 9 HX 370 is $160 less, for the same performance. Within 5%, I'd say.

https://slickdeals.net/f/19750998-acemagic-f5a-mini-pc-barebone-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370-2x-ddr5-slots-499?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3AFalse%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arecent%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse&peid=6d858028-689c-4c7e-8303-a840af8b275a

470 is a refresh of the 370 with:
  • 100MHz higher cpu boost (Nothing noticeable...)
  • 200MHz higher gpu boost (Nothing noticeable...)
  • 5 more TOPS for AI... I have no idea if thats a big deal or not. 🤷 ♂️

This is basically a laptop with mid tier performance from 8 years ago or so.
