Linux should work just fine. These Hackintosh pretty well, too.

OP, thanks for making the RAM upgrade option!

I don't know about this particular system - no idea what its boot options are. It also depends on the NAS OS. UnRAID is pretty flexible.…

Yes, this will likely be the first point of failure. Put the OS on one of the NVMe drives rather.

Yes, I agree. The speed of the storage (4x 2 GB/s for PCIe 3 x2) and that of the network interfaces (2 x 0.25GB/s) is rather mismatched.…

Look at the dBA part of the specification. This tells you how much sound they make.

A Data General Nova 1200 (computer from 1969) bought at auction for a dollar. It was the fast model, the 1200 referred to the 1200ns…

No, but if you own a deep ocean submersible these are rated to Titanic depths.

Noctua fans are made by Yen Sun Technology aka Y.S. Tech.

They are still very good, but pricey and the competition has caught up. Not made in Austria anymore, but made in China. You can find the…

This worries me as you can see they've cut corners here, where else have they cut corners that you can't see on a "premium" notebook.

Generally, yes. For an emergency light though replaceable batteries are useful. That said, anyone buying these, take out the Duracells.…

Yeah the "dual resolution" is marketing BS. Look at the back of any monitor manual and you'll find a table of vertical frequency in Hz vs…

Yes, they are now selling WD used and not Seagate. Perhaps because the wiped Seagate SMART data has a bypass to see the real drive stats,…

Microsoft charges way less in poorer countries like Bangladesh. The same way people get cheap Netflix in Argentina or Turkey. They charge…

The good thing about Google phones is that the bootloader is not locked - you can easily reflash the Australian ROM if you want.

Upvote to the OP for a great description.

AMD's CPU numbering is designed to confuse.

Yeah, they are full of meaningless names now. You knew what the old Red, Brown and Blue were. There was one on OzBargain a few days ago…

Yeah - this + Merlin for many many other uses too.

Yes, they were good 15 years ago. Expensive leakers now.

Yeah, the ban makes little sense, but the TGA is not run by competent people anymore. Paracetamol probably wouldn't be approved by modern…

Yeah, they used to be good a long time ago. I have these boots, but the quality is cheap, every possible corner has been cut in making them…

That 16" laptop has a bad IPS display, Lenovo's ultra-cheap 45% NTSC display. I've no idea why they keep making them.

It's a good robust machine, I've had the AMD version of this for 2 years. It's externally almost identical to the Intel model, according to…

Gotta give the time for the vendors to jack up their prices first ;-)

This is also one of the reasons why we have a shortage of housing - see this graph:…

Note that Brother is now updating OzBargain's favourite printer brand to not work with non-Brother inks and toners. I'd suggest firewalling…

In my limited experience, Ali Express returns customer service is much better than eBay now. Not Amazon level, but you'll probably get your…

If you still want to pay more, you can add 512GB to your iPhone for an extra $650 from the base 128GB version.
