I’m looking to replace a 2013 Mac Mini running Proxmox. Just curious if anyone has one of these or anyone heard of any negatives about them? Watched a bunch of videos and outside of a lack of 10G Ethernet, it seems to be well received!

    It’s $400 before tax with no SSD or RAM, so I’d need to get SSD, RAM and HDDs. What’s your thoughts on the specs at that cost? As the other comments point out, its an AM4, so it might make more sense to build something instead!

      That’s a little steep but not as bad as I was thinking. If you are looking for the best bang for buck go with a old enterprise workstation off of eBay. They have limitations but cost wise that’s the best in my experience.

      For building a new system I would go for a cost effective motherboard and CPU and then get (or build) a NAS case. You don’t need a lot of horse power from the sounds of it anyway. Go for more cores and ram but be mindful of ram speeds.
