This looks like an amazing little box that can do almost anything. I’m wondering how people feel about the pricepoint

$679 early bird

$839 msrp

I’d love to grab one to use as a router/firewall, plus run any homelabbing containers I have on my NAS.

How’s the value proposition stack up? Price looks great to me considering the cpu and connectivity it offers.

Edit: Additional info

serve the home sponsored video sponsored but still really really informative. There’s a section near the end going through a tons of ideas of how to utilize the pci slot, including epanding nvme storage, external sas, extra networking etc. seems you can get over 40gb extra throughput from that port.

    That is strange that they would have size limit for the SSD. Maybe it only supports single sided M.2 drives, but if that’s the case, they should have just said it.
