Firewall Mini PC N100

Since you mentioned it’s mainly for media streaming. Get an intel gpu with integrated graphics over any AMD chip. Quicksync will benefit you so much, AMD (even dGPU’s) are much worse than Intel’s iGPU. If you ever plan on expanding with say immich, the argument would even be enhanced. I would recomm

You don’t need bigger than an N100 for a 1Gb link. Fanless can be tricky even in an N100 because they still pull 10-15w which means they will run warm without good airflow. I have multiple CWWK systems N5105/N100/N305 and they have been rock solid for years. They are great bang for buck.

im am using one of those fanless firewall-pcs as proxmox host. my model has a pentium 8505, but you can also get them even cheaper with an n100/n150 cpu. the fanless cases are usually sufficient unless you try to mine bitcoin on it or similar, then it will get too hot. i have a 140mm fan with very l

I have 5xHDDs, 4xSSD, and 1xM.2 connected to this N100 board. I have this USBC card in it and this M.2 SATA adapter in it. I stuffed it all into a Jonsbo N2 (pic), but you could put it in any old pc case. You could swap the USB card for a SATA card and get all of your drives connected. A $163 ITX bo

i was hunting for the same specs a few months back and ended up going with a cwwk intel n100 board - fits your budget and has dual m.2 plus a sata port for a 3.5 drive. pair it with a cheap mini itx case and you're set. if you want something prebuilt the topton n100 boxes sometimes have similar conf

There are a wide range of options for someone with your seemingly low needs, but high budget. You can run all you mention on any $150 N100 mini pc, but the N150 is out so that may be preferable. Here is an example. However, those machines don't offer any ability to upgrade or add storage. You mentio

I run a 3-node Proxmox cluster with Ceph, and Opnsense as firewall and AdGuard as DNS server. Works extremely well, low TDP and highly stable. Two of the nodes, an N100 and N5150 system are from Topton and the third one, another N100 based mini PC is from CWWK. In hindsight, I would get all CWWK wit
