I used it because I already had one. What brand is your system from? Or isn't it pre-assembled? The price of $180 sounds perfect for an increase in performance

What brand is your system from? Or isn't it pre-assembled? The price of $180 sounds perfect for an increase in performance and still low power requirements.
- PaulWaldman 4y agoThat's a good reason, it's always great when you can repurpose hardware. It is a Beelink model from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. It came pre-assembled with Windows 11 pre-installed. I wiped it and installed Proxmox.
- rambambram 4y agoI just saw their website. Definitely an option for when my RPi lets me down, or - more likely - when I need to do heavier stuff. But these Beelink things come with fans... how's the noise?
- PaulWaldman 4y agoIt's essentially silent, I've only ever heard the fan when I'm within a foot of the unit. I pulled the unit apart and the fan looked pretty standard. There are also models on Amazon that use the N5105 that are passively cooled. I havn't used one, so I'm not sure if there is any throttling going on with those models.
