Specifically, here's their review of a couple of N5105 based ones (which are probably the most sensible choice for most applications). [1][2] TLDR: KingNovy and Topton from AliExpress are pretty good and going barebones is a better deal. 1: https://www.servethehome.com/two-fanless-intel-celeron-n5105-4x-2-5gbe-options-reviewed/ 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUuaAPG0PxU

I don't really understand why that means the Odroid-H3 is a "tough sell", though. It's quite a bit cheaper than both of the boards mentioned in that review, even after you add a case and power supply.

  I've found several 4-port N5105 systems (which are barebones, so BYO DDR4 and NVMe at about $100 add'l for 2x8GB and 512GB) for around $145 [1] shipped on Aliexpress. I also found a Core i3-1115G4 based one for $195 shipped [2], which I've personally decided to order. The i3-1115G4 is nearly twice as fast as the N5105 [3] and this is the first I've seen something with it available for less than $300. The iGPU is excellent for the price point too [4]. So comparing the N5105 system linked vs the Odroid-H3+, you save about $40 AND get a case with enough thermal mass to passively cool it AND two more 2.5Gbe ports. 1: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004225099067.html 2: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004514115494.html 3: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3877vs4412/Intel-i3-1115G4-vs-Intel-Celeron-N5105 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox06ZbPhhQA

    But the Odroid-H3+ has a significantly more powerful N6005 processor. A better comparison would be to the lower-end Odroid-H3, which has an N5105 and is only $129.

    From the country I live in, this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004225099067.html is sold at approximately 175 USD. Since Aliexpress, based on what I read, ships from China, the Hardkernel shop is a valid comparison; in the Hardkernel website: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h3/ the H3 is sold at 129 USD. 129$ + case - 2 ethernet, and 175$, are in the same ballpark. Note that the H* don't need any extra cooling. The heatsink provided is enough (I've wasted money on a fan that ended up never spinning).
