Pretty cool. I'd compare this one to the Odroid H3±

That "SBC" has a strange price point because it is Intel and costs 250$. For 100€ you can find an HP Mini with an i5 8th gen + 16GB of ram + 256GB NVME that obviously has a case, a LOT of I/O, PCIe (m2) comes with a power adapter and outperforms a RPi5 in all possible ways.

I found it for $165. Definitely wouldn't pay $250.

Still have to buy power supply, case, cooling, etc.. And it has an older Intel CPU too.

There are newer Intel N100 boxes with a case, PSU, cooling, and so on for the same price or less sometimes.

Do you know of any newer Intel SBCs with the same IO? I would like to take a look

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

What kind of IO are you looking for? Here's a couple mini PCs, I'm not sure about SBC options.

I'm looking for something to run Open Media Vault. Fast Ethernet and multiple drive options. I also like to tinker, the prebuilt mini PCs haven't interested me much

You can pick up an i3-8100 with motherboard and RAM for about $80 on eBay if you look around, that would let you do your own build
