    Man its getting confusing which mini PC to buy. Do i get this or the N100 brand new deals going for $180 ish?

    No bloody idea.

    • AndrewMTG on 03/10/2024 - 09:39

      N100 has way less power consumption

      • r33tom on 03/10/2024 - 09:52
        +2

        Would not say it's way less. The i5 6400t cpu is designed for laptops so it does have a low tdp for the age of the CPU. Tests measure of 10w - 20w idle and max draw of 40w.

        The Intel n100 idle draw is 4w-10w with max draw of 30w.

        You may be able to under volt the i5 even more to get the idle power closer to the n100.

        Most of the bios on the generic Intel n100 mini PC's are extremely limited and your have less flexibility to tweak it.

        A saving of 5watts over 365 days at a tariff of 23cents/kWh is around $10

        Also take note that these cheap mini PC's you get from AliExpress all comes with cheap power supplies. If you want stability and safety I would price in a new power supply that has passed Australian standards. That will set you back $30-$40.

          I have a 6400T based laptop attached to my TV and it's starting to show it's age, struggles with 4K for example. The much more modern iGPU in the newer N100 desktops would blow this out of the water for media consumption but if you're using it for Home Assistant etc these are great

          • jaydee4 on 03/10/2024 - 12:33

            @Ezekiel2320: That's exactly what I wanted to know as I look for my first mini pc. Thanks.

        I have a 8500t desktop running as HAOS and its currently running at 5.2 watts.

        • nfr on 03/10/2024 - 13:57

          Wow desktop? That's amazing.

        • happy1923 on 03/10/2024 - 14:57

          Similar, 9500T (Dell optiplex micro) running proxmox reading 3-5W, .6-.7 power factor

    • abs898 on 03/10/2024 - 10:02

      I tried both for.my Plex server and ended up with this. For some reason my n100 was overheating, could have been a unit issue.

      These are lower in power consumption, probably low as low as the n100.

      Hasn't missed a beat

      • r33tom on 03/10/2024 - 10:06

        Check the thermal paste and heatsink on the Intel n100. The one I got was poorly installed with way too much crappy thermal paste.

        After a repaste with thermal grizzly paste the idle temps dropped 20 degrees

        what HDD setup do you use for media storage?

        • abs898 on 03/10/2024 - 11:16

          I have one NVMe + 1 internal SSD + External powered HDD

          • QuickToThePointless on 03/10/2024 - 21:14

            @abs898: thanks for reply - is the external a single unit like a WD desktop expansion, or a JBOD/DAS multi HDD caddy….i ask becasue i am looking at the latter option for my own use, cheers!

            • abs898 on 03/10/2024 - 22:46

              @QuickToThePointless: WD desktop expansion. All combined, it's about 8TB, I think, which is more than enough for me.

    What speed is the RAM? It's a pretty good price for just 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD

    Edit: The processor spec says DDR4 2133MHz is maximum. Poo

    • Associatedhunterzz @ Bufferstock on 03/10/2024 - 09:53

      DDR4 - 2400T and 2133 Mixed models in this lot

    • plague69 on 03/10/2024 - 13:21

      What do you need the faster ram for? Ddr4 has lower CAS than ddr5.

    • Pest85 on 03/10/2024 - 13:25
      +1

      this is a 6th gen of intel processor.
      What speed did you expect? 6000?

      Moreover, for tasks that cpu can do - it doesnt really matter on what ram speed would be.

    Hey OP

    Where are you located and do you offer pick-up?

    • sickburn on 03/10/2024 - 10:48

      If it didn't com from the factory with wifi then it won't have either the internal nor external antennas.

      You can get a kit of wifi card and both antennas from AliExpress for like $30 shipped.

    Obviously can loaded with Linux/Home Assistant etc., but if you’re actually after a Windows machine it’s hard to recommend something limited to Windows 10 at this point.

    From what I understand there are workarounds to get Windows 11 running on unsupported hardware, but there are performance impacts/drawbacks.

    • harro112 on 03/10/2024 - 12:17

      you can run activated win 11 LTSC using massgrave.dev and completely circumventing the tpm 2.0 requirement

    • plague69 on 03/10/2024 - 13:25

      Windows 11 no problems. Never heard about any performance issues. Windows just needs a TPM 2.0 chip

    I find the AIO listing a bit confusing. It says AIO only. I assume that means monitor + computer combined but no keyboard or mouse? And the first slide says DVD but I can’t see a drive slot anywhere? (I’d love to have the Bluray AIOs back but no one makes those)

  • operator8 on 03/10/2024 - 11:10

    Does this have any dust filters built in? I had the dell SFF before and it got really dusty after a few months.

    • misu p on 03/10/2024 - 12:07

      I do not believe so, however the amount of air that goes through this is also a lot smaller.

      • operator8 on 03/10/2024 - 13:36

        Thanks, ordered one :)

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 09/10/2024 - 10:18

    N100 is Windows 11 certified. Anything older than Intel G8 (e.g. 6400T) is not.

    • HandsomeMonkey on 03/10/2024 - 12:15

      VentoyUSB will circumvent the MS Windows 11 certification. Just copy Windows 11 ISO to the USB and you're good to go.

      • kehuehue on 03/10/2024 - 18:40

        is Ventoy better than Rufus?

        • HandsomeMonkey on 04/10/2024 - 15:59

          Yes, Rufus install Ventoy for multiple isos supports.

  • HandsomeMonkey on 03/10/2024 - 12:05

    Bought one for Batocera and Windows 11 dual boot. Thanks OP.

  • krisspy on 03/10/2024 - 12:30

    Anyone know if these can do 1440p @120hz through display port? Specs show 4k @60hz, would like to use one for steam link client along with server duties.

    • ju2au on 03/10/2024 - 12:47

      From what I have found, for 1440p @ 144Hz, you'll need at least DisplayPort 1.2.

      DisplayPort 1.2 was first introduced in 2010 which was a very long time ago (in computing terms) so I am sure that the DisplayPort in this PC at least match that spec.

    • spondbob on 03/10/2024 - 14:47

      Keen to know how you'll setup steam link on a machine like this - is there an OS or app installed? Will you keep the machine on or only turn it on when about to play? Do you know if there's a remote or something that can turn on/off on demand?

      • krisspy on 03/10/2024 - 15:44
        +1

        Native to the steam program on Windows.

        You can probably set up wake on lan with an app on your phone to turn it on, I don't bother, the laptop I use currently idles at 5w and does server duties

    For old PCs, get at least 8th gen Intel. There was a big jump from 7th to 8th in terms of performance. This is 6th but okay for the price.

    • Borg on 03/10/2024 - 14:25

      This is more about the$119 price and inclusions. An 8th gen will cost a tad more I would expect.

      • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 03/10/2024 - 16:40

        For equivalency i think its about the same.

        I5 7500T is about equivalent to i3 8100T, Price for the dell optiplex systems should be about the same

  • Dragoose on 03/10/2024 - 14:41

    Do these have spare RAM slots? I would love 32GB of RAM, without wasting the sticks that are already installed.

    • lordezekiel on 03/10/2024 - 16:47

      They have two ram slots total, and i think it would be fairly safe to assume they are already full with 2x8gb chips. But it would support 32gb max at 2400mhz.

    • Borg on 09/10/2024 - 15:29

      Nice, lucky you. Perhaps your emails and calls forced them to sort your order?
      Will now have to do the same as at a point where I might try cancel the order as I needed it for a project this weekend. At this point will end up having to use a different device making this one redundant.for me and a wasted purchase. I wasn't expecting such crap shipping delays and poor communications from them unfortunately.

      Yeah, I just got a tracking number as well which was created yesterday. Doesn't mean a lot though until it changes to "we've got It" and is on the way.

          Other: Unlike the online ad that noted "Unit comes without inbuilt WIFI and secondary HDD caddie" this one had the HDD Caddie & cable which is handy.

          Thanks OP. Got there in the end :-)
