  • Anyone know if this would work as a Plex server / Jellyfin server?

    • Yes it would. You will need to see if you are going to transcoder or not. But for direct play this is good

      I've been running a lower spec ACER i3/ 8G RAM mini desktop to run Plex/ SabNZBDplus/ pyMedia/ Radarr on headless Linux.

      FORGOT: This thing is also running mythtv-backend using a USB DBTV tuner, but theses days we only use it during the footy season coz there's no way I'm paying moneys to murdock.

      files are served from a 16 year old HP-Proliant microserver with 20T HDD array.

      No complaints.

      • Is that for live footy? In which case I'm curious why not just connect the coax directly into the TV itself

        • +6

          We record & pick it up about 40minutes to skip the ads. That way when it gets to the quarter that matters it's all prettymuch in sync ;-)

    • The built-in GPU supports QuickSync and can decode/encode 4K HEVC, so yeah, should be alright.

  • What brand are the SSD and are they also second hand? Or are they new?

  • Do these have the sled for a 2.5" drive inside?

    It also looks like the memory is upgradable and has 2x M.2 slots inside too? (judging from this chassis opening video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi1D8-R_eNc)

    • Regarding the m.2 slots be sure they can address the size SDDs you want to install. I've had issues with older ACER notebooks and minis not recognising m.2 SDDs larger than 256G.

      Got one last time it does not have the 2.5 tray in there nor connection cable. The wifi included in just a cheap usb dongle. Ended up in the bin for me.

      • Can you confirm if this has 2x M.2 slot for nvme ??

        • Yes. It does have 2x M.2 slot.

  • 8100T or N100?

    • +1

      N100 is a touch slower but draws less power.

      Probably more comes down to buying a newer/new N100 based machine vs a refurb older machine…

      I went for the latter, I have a 8500t running proxmox/a few vms. (I'm aware the 8500t isnt a direct comparison, but I do also like/prefer the idea of re-using older hardware that's plenty capable).

    • +1

      My personal experience with a more stable build has been better, had to return my Kamurai n100 twice due to build issue

      Also my use case is mainly Plex, radarr etc so it worked well.

  • This or https://amzn.asia/d/4ircyMH compare to 10th gen
    ?

    • Is that 3x more capable than this one?

  • -7

    Can i use it as a typewriter

  • -2

    8th gen intel chips are not officially supported by Windows 11.

    Does anyone know if that means users will get into some kind of trouble?

    • Can you link where it says it's not supported? 8th gen is supposed to be supported.

    • +1

      Wrong, 8th gen is the minimum for official win11.

    • +2

      Great, thank you guys for pointing out 8th gen is supported.

      I remembered I had a work pc with 8th gen chip and was not allowed to upgrade to windows 11 and hence the question.

      Apparently my memory failed me.

  • Possibly silly question given it's a desktop processor, but can these be powered via the type-c port? One of my hesitations in buying these would be a reliance on a specific adapter

    • DC barrell power plug. Too old and desktop spec to be powered by USB c.

      I believe these only have a type C port on front for data and charging TO other devices.

    • There are some USB-C-to-barrel connectors that you might be able to use.
