Right now I use this as a standalone Linux server (Fedora 36) running various automations, development processes, and the occasional GUI/browsing/etc on a TV. This product is frequently on promotion with or without coupons, so make a price alert for it if you want to get a better deal. I'm very pleased with the Ryzen performance. I bought the 256GB/16GB version so I'd have adequate RAM, then I immediately replaced the SSD with a 1TB nvme gen 3. The RAM are Corsair brand if I recall. The two things I don't like about this system are the USB-3.0 port on the front... Why not 2x USB-3.1? And why have nvme and then a 2.5 SATA underneath? Would be better with 2x nvme or at least 1x nvme and 1x m.2 SATA. Minor gripes, though. I love how the top lid pops off to access the internals. It's a beast, though. The performance is phenomenal. I'm an electronics repair professional and I appreciate the thoughtful design on the PCB's inside and accessibility. I dunno, it just is a neat product all-around.
