MS-A1

It looks like you're aiming for a high-end eGPU setup, and there are some important considerations to make—starting with the GPU choice. The RTX 5080, while offering solid base performance, feels underwhelming for its price. With only 16GB of VRAM, its long-term value is questionable, especially whe

I cannot guarentee fps because the question is too vague.

It looks like you've listed good choices; I'd vote for one with an Oculink port, because you could then use an eGPU enclosure with it in the future (that's full-nerd I admit). It looks like the GMKTec M7 has one. The Minisforum MS-A1 is another that has it; that's what I use for a Proxmox host, and

This is exactly what I was going for. I initially had the atomman g7 but the 7600m was just to weak so i was going to get the new one which imo is better than these because its a laptop 4070/5070 vs desktop 5060 which is also upgradeable for less money…..I sold the G7 and the g1 kept being sold out…

You almost had it but ms-a1 yes you need a desktop cpu or you get the one that comes with 8700g. The A1 also has oculink so the sky is the limit after that. I just did a build with left over ssd, nvme, psu. Grabbed used 9800x3d and 9070xt with the deg being $100. $1300 and I have beast of a machine

Barebone mini PCs where you can put your own desktop grade CPU are very rare. I have the aforementioned MS-A1 and it's pretty good. Alas, stock is dwindling here in Japan as well... If you're not interested in OCuLink, you may also find the ASRock DeskMini X600 interesting. I have two DeskMini X300

I like multi purpose because I have a nice space to place a server but it’s essentially a closet. I also don’t tinker a ton. once I have things set up I leave it alone and use it basically. I tossed around the idea of the minisforum n5 ( standard) + an ms-a1 or a2 w/ oculink for an egpu. That would

I purchased the barebone version of the MS-A1 during Prime week event, 64x2gb laptop memory sticks 5600 speed, 1x 4tb M.2 Gen 4x4 and the AMD 9950x3d. Had it running a week now. I like it. Waiting for my egpu to come in to plug into the Oculink and see how it runs playing games. Been using the inter

MS-A1 minisforum is the only thing you can look at :)! it wont support lp gpu inside tho, theres oculink but its the only mini pc that does not soldered cpu.

I decided to return, and re-ordered the MS-A1. I really like the form factor. It occupies little space and it has what I need for my use case. The replacement has the same 1.06 BIOS. The x3d is awesome, and the 96gb is plenty enough for whatever I might need in the near future. I allocated 16gb vram
