Review: Great low wattage device for network router. - This little machine has been brilliant for pfsense. I had a similar micro-pc years back that worked ok but eventually was too finicky to be my primary network router, after that I migrated to a Dell optiplex that I'd picked up used which worked well for several years until it mysteriously decided to no longer boot after a recent power outage. So I replaced that with this - I love that it's a 12v power supply, and silent. I'll be able to run it directly off a 12v backup battery - omitting the inverter part of a backup power supply, so that I can keep the network on for extended periods of time next time we have a power outage. The specs are overkill for pfsense, but that means it's not negatively impacting network speed or performance whatsoever. And the processor has all the necessary features for VPNs/etc. This is a fantastic little machine to use as a router, the 2.5gbit ethernet is a nice upgrade too, which I'll eventually benefit from when fiber eventually makes it to my neighborhood.
Review: Runs a bit hot... but has proven to be stable thus far... after a few weeks of use - Runs a bit hot as others have noticed... but has proven to be stable thus far... after a few weeks of use. I would have preferred that it came with a fan once I saw how hot the case gets. What is interesting is the processor its self does not seem to run that hot, stays below 60 C, with balanced use. The seller is responsible and reasonable. I communicated the heat issue and the seller offer a couple of options, including sending a fan. The fan uses USB port, since there is no main board fan connector. But that is fine, this device does not have to look pretty, just be functional. It was easy to configure, installed Debian 12, no issues. I once I decided to keep it, I upgraded the memory just to given Debian 12 UI a bit more head room, but if you are using it as a router or firewall... 4GB is sufficient for most use cases. The case has screw holes for a 2.5in SSD and a square fan... looks like a 10MM x 40MM. But you will want to measure it, since any fan installed internal may be limited in space if you upgrade the memory, using both SDO slots.
