Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais says that they thought about selling the Steam Machine without RAM and SSD and doesn't rule out that it will eventually be an option [like via ifixit]

i just looked into buying a minisforum ms-a2 barebones (i.e no ram, no nvme) but the pre-built ones were cheaper than I could source, even taking into account that they pre-built ones included a wasted windows oem licence.

I'm curious how people here manage their live strategies after deployment.

Running on a headless Beelink GTI14 on my home network. If I had to do again, we would probably get a MINISFORUM MS-A2 with the Ryzen 9 9955HX. It would be about the same price and has 16 cores/32 thread and they are all performance cores (the gti14 is 6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores and 2 l

Migrating everything to Home Assistant?

I’ve been Running HA on RaspberryPi4 for a number of years, it works great for a simple setup, however my SD Card is starting to fail and I’m now moving into more advanced automations with the help of Claude. The RaspberryPi doesn’t have the grunt to run the Claude Code Addon ( I tried, it crashed)

Is Digitec starting to behave like every other crappy seller?

You are missing the point too. OP bought the hardware last summer. He had the PC for nearly a year before noticing that one of his SFP+ ports were defective. Nearly one year. Within that year the global prices for DDR5 RAM skyrocketed, making his PC much more valuable. This was caused by the market,

Comparativo de routers Wi-Fi (2026): qual vale realmente a pena?

Para ir pelo caminho do MiniPC, eu tenho um Minisforum MS-A2 com duas SFP+ que já me senti tentado a meter como router BSD, está subaproveitado. (não é barato) Para 1Gbps, bastava fazer passthrough do controlador das NICs SFP+ para uma VM. Já pensei na hipotese, e deixar o Mercusys a fazer só wifi.

MS-A2 - barebone or not?

Just FYI: 1. Regarding buying from official Minisforum site vs Amazon: I ordered from the official site first on April 28. but canceled in early June because they did not even start to ship the Item. (They promised on the release livestream that the orders would ship before anything was going to be

My First Homelab Attempt

Ohh, Minisforum MS-A2. Love these. Have 3 of them (9955HX) and ordered 3 more since I still have 4U space empty so figured I will add more compute. Though, to fully utilize it needs like 64GB RAM at least. So my wallet is missing now -$6k just cause I couldn't look at 4U empty gap on my rack.But hey

Steam Machine могла бути успішною, але ШІ вбив її цінник

Ну, як сказати, он у Minisforum розпродаж: дають непогані знижки на свої 1-літрові міні-ПК. MS-01/MS-A2 можна буквально зараз зі знижкою за 500 баксів взяти. Так, це версії без RAM та SSD, зате на Ryzen 9 9845HX (16-ядер/32-потоки), навіть здається, ще можна 1-слотову відеокарту впихнути туди. Або з

My Mac mini is a beast!

I have a minisforum ms a2 8945hx with one 16gb ram stick and it is well worth the money.I’m just mining with the Mac mini because all it was doing was running a homebridge server and a network ssd.
