1% fee on all payments except credit/debit card.

So many deals on mini PC's - but mostly unknown brand amazon stuff.
This one is MSI branded, so hopefully better quality components.
The same N100 low power CPU as the other posts.
MSI have a promotion https://au.msi.com/Promotion/AUCubiNUCpromotion
This model (Cubi N ADL-007BAU) is included.
You get a free 1TB Spatium M460 SSD - retails at $99
You get a $50 egift card, which I received within 2 days. You can redeem it for many retailers via https://www.giftpay.com.au/business/

$50 buys you 16GB of laptop SODIMM

This is great value for a branded mini PC at ~$110 if you value the SSD @ $99 and the $50 gift card.

      Jellyfin server (run your own self-hosted streaming service)

      Home assistant (self-hosted home automation)

      And much more.

      Me neither, I'd assume these types of computers are used as payment terminals or something lightweight like that.

      Few things I'm running orr considering:

      Plex, Portainer, watchtower, Fileserver, VPN, Firefox, Heimdall, tailscale, Audiobookshelf, Kavita, Calibre, Home Assistant, PiHole.

        But most of this can be installed on Rasberry pi right ? What's the advantage of mini CPU over Rasberry pi. Higher processing power ?

        Edit : Asking because I have 2 Rasberry pi already so is there any benefits of getting this.

          Quick sync, better compatibility for some packages since this is x86

      For homelabs…

  • Poizon on 12/09/2024 - 22:13

    Does it come with OS?

      nope, barebones kit

    • reilu on 12/09/2024 - 22:29

      I don't think it does, says barebones… so that's just the CPU and board so I'm assuming we need to purchase
      1) memory, reading the info says max 16gb
      2) ssd - not needed since one is in the promo

    • HomeAlone on 12/09/2024 - 22:30

      No. It's a barebone system. You need to add RAM, storage and OS to get it running.

      The storage you can get for free via redemption and the $50 gift card will buy you the RAM, but the OS you'll have to sort out yourself.

    I'd rather a Beelink to be honest. Who knows what company is making this unit.

      At a guess - MSI. They manufacture the motherboard I'm using.

      I've got a Chatreey N100 mini PC and used it once and found it too noisy with just a YT vid and text browser going side by side @ 4k. I was looking up these MSI Cubi models including the higher spec 12M, and the reviews made it sound like these have a legit cooling setup, and can actually keep quiet.

      I also like the fact most of these Cubi's can have a HDD in them. But then I saw it was 2.5", and they are well overpriced. So I'm back on the hunt for something relatively small, efficient, cool+quiet, and that fits 1x3.5" HDD. I know about Aoostar's "NAS" PC's, but I'm not sure they have enough cooling either.

      And I also want type-c front and rear, or 2 rear, or 1 rear at worst. I don't like that these Cubi have it on the front, because it will look ridiculous having the cable out the front whilst sitting on my desk connected to my monitors KVM.

    I ordered the Beelink from yesterday, will set it up tomorrow, but I would prefer it alone based on it is complete vs this which you need to source own items.

    2x 1Gbps LAN ports (RTL8111H). Can be used as a low end router or home lab for geeks. But at this price… nah.

    I got my hands on a retired corporate PC for $100 thru a previous deal on OzB, has an 8th gen i5, 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD in it. Much more powerful and a better deal than this.

    • fullerms on 13/09/2024 - 06:02

      Nope. The RTL chipset used in the NICs doesn't play nice with linux firewalls and is a deal breaker.

  • yogeshkhetpal on 13/09/2024 - 05:24

    Can I run Ubuntu OS on this?

    • impoze on 13/09/2024 - 06:20

      Yes
