Deal Details
I bought this last week, got it a couple of days ago, and it's working great. Installed Proxmox on it with no issues. With the prices of RAM, this seemed like a great deal, especially compared with another Acemagic posted earlier that only has 24GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Depends on your use case I guess. Many workloads don't need the latest and greatest and would do better with the 32GB of DDR4 RAM vs 16GB of DDR5 (and with the current prices of said RAM, this is a deal). I'm running things like Uptime-kuma, Excalidraw, Journiv, and homepage on mine - lots of smaller containers. My only real complaint with this box is that it doesn't have a 2.5GbE adapter, only standard gigabit. but again, for the workloads I'm throwing at it, it works well and I much prefer the 32GB RAM and 1TB of local storage so I can run more VMs and containers..

This is a very solid CPU actually. Similar to the Ryzen H 255 and 270 in performance. Honestly, the most significant shortcoming of this IMO is the port selection; no USB4, thunderbolt, or oculink. If you don't need those, this is sufficient for most mini PC use cases. Most mini PCs with measurably more performance are going to run you +$100-200 more minimum, and you don't get a significant jump in performance until you're spending >$900 on a mini PC.

Cool. You're allowed to just pass without telling everyone about your preferences.
