Thought this might be helpful as a lot of these mini PCs are hitting the used market.

Need to add shipping charges to the price...

[-] mahin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

There's a free shipping filter, but if you're not in that country, shipping costs a lot. The solution to that is to add more marketplaces, which I'm going to next. Where are you located?

Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.

Shipping prices would vary depending on location though, right?

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.

I really like that it is a static website being updated and built on a schedule from github actions.

Number of Drive bays is also a neat filter.

[-] mahin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately this info is rarely provided by sellers.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I know, which is why it would be extra helpful.

[-] Statick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't see a filter for drive bays. I'm on mobile so maybe that's why?

Looking great! I think it would be amazing if there are filters for processor generations as well as form factor. Thanks for sharing this tool!

[-] LengAwaits@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not quite as simple as checkboxes, but the ability is there to some degree!

This is a great site, thanks for sharing.

Does anyone happen to know if there is a N100 model that supports HDMI-CEC so I can make my old TV set smart with a recent Kodi and maybe some retro-games? But I'd rather not let it consume 9W or whatever such a machine needs all day long. So it'd need to start and shut down on its own. Preferably without manual additional steps involved, hence the CEC...

[-] AceBonobo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've heard but not confirmed that the various NUC models have CEC

I have a few services running on Proxmox that I'd like to switch over to bare metal. Pfsense for one. No need for an entire 1U server, but running on a dedicated machine would be great.

Every mini PC I find is always lacking in some regard. ECC memory is non-negotiable, as is an SFP+ port or the ability to add a low-profile PCIe NIC, and I'm done buying off-brand Chinese crop on Amazon.

If someone with a good reputation makes a reasonably-priced mini PC with ECC memory and at least some way to accept a 10Gb DAC, I'll probably buy two.

[-] Concave1142@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I've been running OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox for a year on an AliExpress box that doesn't have ECC. If I might ask, why do you have a requirement for ECC?

Before this box, I ran a Dell R230 with pfSense but got tired of the noise and 40 watt power draw.

I've had zero issues without ECC, so I'm just curious about your need for it.

Doesn't work for me on Firefox mobile. Neither "mobile" site or Desktop versions. Hitting "Next/Enter" on my keyboard does nothing, there is no Submit button that I can see, and refreshing the page just resets all fields to defaults.

I don't want an Intel with 4gb RAM and a 256GB spinning drive, and OS included? No dice, that's what I'm offered. Without being able to filter results, its just another craigslist/amazon/newegg front-end ... a less useful one.

EDIT: Turns out there are zero fanless non-Intel, 16+GB RAM, 1024+GB SSD/eMMC offerings with USB-C to list. Strange no-one is packaging an OrangePi 5 Plus like so, but I haven't seen a fanless heat-sink sufficient to make that a good idea anyways.

I had tweaked some of the options, but without clearing either-or-both of those last two, especially "fan-less", all I was getting was the five sponsored "results" the top, which changed just enough to make it seem like that's all the results I could get.

[-] mahin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'll try to optimize it, thank you.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Works for me, but damn it's dog snot slow. Like typing takes 1-2 seconds for each character to show up

[-] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

This; works on Mull; there is no submit button, it just constantly refreshes the results and thus is slow AF from continuously juggling the data.

works fine for me

[-] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Using Firefox mobile, everything works and is mostly performance 🤷‍♂️

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I didn't have an issue.

Awesome! I was looking for one to gift to my cousins

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Sadly only for US and UK, or am I missing something?

[-] mahin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I plan to add Canada and Australia next.
