This looks like an amazing little box that can do almost anything. I’m wondering how people feel about the pricepoint
$679 early bird
$839 msrp
I’d love to grab one to use as a router/firewall, plus run any homelabbing containers I have on my NAS.
How’s the value proposition stack up? Price looks great to me considering the cpu and connectivity it offers.
Edit: Additional info
serve the home sponsored video sponsored but still really really informative. There’s a section near the end going through a tons of ideas of how to utilize the pci slot, including epanding nvme storage, external sas, extra networking etc. seems you can get over 40gb extra throughput from that port.
I use 10g between my main pc and my nas. It’s amazing. I use nvmes for triple a, intensive type games, and almost everything else gets installed on the nas. There’s great use cases for 10g.
