MS-A1

Not the OP, but I run a similar (ish) setup myself; Minisforum MS-A1, Ryzen 8700g, 64GB DDR5, 2x2TB + 2x1TB NVMe drives. Deg1 dock with a 3080Ti + Corsair SF750W platinum PSU. I went this route as I had multiple PC's in my household and I just wanted a single jack of all trades machine. I travel fai

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

People just chase bigger numbers I have 4800MT. It’s running at 6000mt without much effort. It’s in a minisforum ms-a1. Stable I can’t imagine if I paid the extra money just to end up in the same place.

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

TJmax 78 should be good, I use external usb fans, too. I mine 24/7 with them and have 3 Minusform mini pcs: ms-a1 and 2 G7 PTs. I find them very good quality.

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

Dell R340, gives full system redundancy, or ms-a1 for smaller peeps

Well do you mean adding a external graphic card ? Because it already has a very good integrated GPU and 128MB RAM so you can run large 80B / 128B LLM models. Also most important against adding any external GPU means its has limited VRAM ! However, using the integrated GPU that is already in minisfor
