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…

Sir, have you heard of an ethernet cable?

I went Sega Mega Drive to Playstation 1, back in 1997. Gave ol' mate Dreamcast a miss.

I shake my head whenever someone discusses how good these are for gaming like that is even a factor to buying one of these.

People get a bit confused by Amazon, I find. For every sale page of an item, there will be many more with all kinds of prices - some less,…

LOL, nice one. One in my X570/5800X3D rig, one in my partners B550M/5600 rig, one in my B550M/5600 Unraid Server / Pfsense router rig. Only…
