I used a similar sized Lenovo m93q motherboard to upgrade my old HP N36L NAS box.

A general question: Why is the price lower in the app than from a web browser?

BargainsGrabber on iiNet Ultra Broadband FTTB Plans (Includes 1000Mbps) $39.99/M for 6 Months, No Contract (New Customers, Select Areas) @ iiNet

Because these alternate networks were built before NBN co existed. It is now illegal to build any fixed line competitor to the NBN!

Yep, myself and a few others posted a warning about this almost a year ago about these Chia drives with wiped SMART.

I don't know if Ozito and Aldi batteries are compatible. There is a FAQ here, but it looks old https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/591076

Yeah, I replaced the motherboard with that from a Lenovo mini-PC m93 a few years ago. It's still a great case for 5x3.5" HDDs - much better…

The N150 with dual NICs on that last deal for $149 looked like an even better deal.

With a bit of work, it's a ZTE A75 Blade 5g, so unlock the bootloader, replace CSC. Whether it is worth doing, depends on how much you…

Thanks for sharing that. I need to read up a bit more about it. I've never seen anything higher than 144Hz personally, so can't comment.

Interesting. The frame time at 165Hz is 6.1ms. The frame time at 360Hz is 2.8ms. That's only around a 3ms difference, yet you're…

A newbie question, can humans see the difference up to 480Hz?

Yeah, I also think they're a bit overpriced, given that there are regular new N100 mini PC deals for ~$200.
