This box is essentially a mini rack server.  It's built like one, but fits in the palm of your hand.  I did a fresh Windows Server 2016 install, installed SqlServer 2017, and it runs extremely well.  The SSD is fast, and makes a huge difference considering it's just an i3 CPU.  Remote Desktop into it, just like a server, only connections are the power brick and ethernet.  Configured the BIOS to restart after power fail, and it's now my baby server.  The form factor is sweet, small enough to put anywhere. Loving it!
