Are you self-hosting LLMs in your 10-inch racks? Looking for hardware & model advice!
Running a 8u 10 inch mini rack. Minisforum Ms-S1 Max runs my self hosted LLMs like GPT OSS 120b. It’s a bit overkill but I use it for paperless, my n8n workflows, karakeep, openwebui/anythingLLM and also ollama.

Considering buying a mini PC to exclusively run Steam (need some advice)
Agreed, however, that Minisforum MS-S1 Max is about the most powerful (and expensive) miniPC you can get, and it's not really that small. It's more like a small PC, not a MiniPC. The iGPU in it is the 8060S, which is equivalent to a 7600XT. That's a last-gen mid-range GPU. It's not considered a 4K c

Nvidia GB10 (DGX Spark and Co.) or AMD AI Max+ 395 (Framework Desktop)

Everything else - the Spark beat it outright and it has CUDA (main selling point). At this point yo

Minisforum MS-S1 Max. Is it that good?

So does the MS-S1 MAX work with OCuLink eGPU?
This is remarkably worse than OCuLink in bandwidth and most importantly, latency. Regardless, Minisforum support said that the computer doesn't work with USB4 eGPU either, which is even more surprising. 64Gbps, bandwith is the same but yeah latency should be higher. Interesting about what Minisforum
