I use mine as a Plex Server - since I usually run AMD CPUs in my servers. Intel QuickSync helps.

On the contrary - as long as you don't have an MSI AM4 motherboard, you can slot in ECC ram with your 5800X. It's what I love about the AM4…

Try reading the reviews before worrying about 2.5 stars. Only two people have rated - 1 did 1 star with no review - 1 did 4 stars with the…

Exactly. My BQ12 had Windows removed shortly after I unboxed it and I installed Debian-headless on it. I Tailscale into it and use Ansible…

Why would you use the preinstalled OS, lol. My BQ12 came with Windows - I got rid of it right away. Price on BQi went back up to $570,…

Beelink EQi12 is $405 at Amazon Aus. - Intel Core 1220P (10C/12T up to 4.4GHz), 24GB LDDR5 RAM 500GB I'd probably go that over this one.

Beelink EQi12 for $405 looks pretty damn good, ngl

It comes with Windows, which you'll be getting rid of if you have any senses. Never just use a preinstalled OS out of the box, especially…

I use an EQ12 as my Plex Server and simply have my media stored on an UnRaid server and connect it to the EQ12 via an NFS share. No need to…

Get the EQ12, then. 2x2.5GB ports. They work great.

Yeah, EQ12 is the way to go. Love the DDR5 + 2.5GB Lan ports. I don't think the EQ13/14 make any sense. They're like a downgrade.

First thing I did when my EQ12 arrived was get rid of Windows and install Debian. It's the only way.

Get the BQ12, it has DDR5 and 2x2.5GB Intel ports.

I don't understand the dumb naming schemes they use. The BQ12 has DDR5 and 2x2.5GB LAN ports. No way I'd go the BQ13/14 over a BQ12.

This. I only bought an EQ12 for intel quicksync. Everything else is handled by my various AMD machines.

Tempting. Think I'll be going the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 49", though. Just need the kvm/productivity benefits. If this was bigger, I'd be…

It's normal.

No. Seagate exos and datacentre drives are naturally noisy.

Unless you actually use a dedicated NVR - your purple and skyhawk won't be able to use their firmware and will act like normal drives. So…

Barracuda Pro is CMR..

Cool story. Everything is made in China these days.

Bought a few of this brand last year and they've been really solid.

This is asking for a proxmox build. Might swap a 5600 out of my server and pop this in.

No one should be recommending Intel in this day and age. They need 500watts to even try come close to AMD now.

I think you're the one trolling. Why you even bringing up gaming? Gamers on AM4 would go 5800XeD. This is for those of us who need cores -…

I missed it. But I'm most looking forward to buying the Eiffel Tower for Xmas, which is already a grand, lol.

Meh, I don't have any problems with realtek these days. Intel is recommended. I use Mellanox Connect-X3 10GB SFP+ NICs on mine (not a…

You may. For what it's worth, I still have my Sega, with Sonic / Road Rash, etc. Those were the days.

Only one ethernet port - for those wanting to dabble with pfsense with these.

btw, duel ethernet = can use as pfsense router. Edit: OPs concerns about NVME vs SSD are quite silly. In real world performance, you won't…
