I'd love it if someone produced a reasonably priced mini-pc with a pci-e slot (of course it wouldn't be so mini...) more or less like servethehome's tinyminym

more or less like servethehome's tinyminymicro project (but not relying on used equipment from 3 years ago)
- skazazes 4y agoIntel has the NUC Extremes which offer a full x16 slot in a fairly small footprint. The Core of the computer itself looks like a small GPU, and it plugs into a daughter board that acts as a coupler for its two x16 slots. I think most people throw GPU's in them but I don't see a reason why you couldn't just fit it with a nice NIC
- AlbertoGP 4y agoDo you know about the Minisforum B550? It has an external PCI-E 16x male port that goes into a small dock/riser where you can plug a graphics card for instance. https://droix.co.uk/blogs/minisforum-b550-review/ https://droix.co.uk/blogs/minisforum-b550-review/ A second review with a different conclusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihcGnBjUAm4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihcGnBjUAm4 Not so reasonably priced, so it maybe does not fit your criteria.
- Lammy 4y agoYou can get flexible risers to turn the m.2 slot into a PCI-e 4x

- aborsy 4y agoZimaboard has a PCIe external expansion, 2 external SATA ports, and 2 NICs. Low power, passively cooled.
