Thought this might be helpful as a lot of these mini PCs are hitting the used market.
I really like that it is a static website being updated and built on a schedule from github actions.
Need to add shipping charges to the price…
There’s a free shipping filter, but if you’re not in that country, shipping costs a lot. The solution to that is to add more marketplaces, which I’m going to next. Where are you located?
Canada for me!
What’s an HHD?
Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.
Shipping prices would vary depending on location though, right?
Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.
Looking great! I think it would be amazing if there are filters for processor generations as well as form factor. Thanks for sharing this tool!
I’ll add gen filters. Form factors are tougher because sellers are inconsistent with them.
Hey, I’ve added a generation filter.
Amazing stuff. Thank you so much!
I have a few services running on Proxmox that I’d like to switch over to bare metal. Pfsense for one. No need for an entire 1U server, but running on a dedicated machine would be great.
Every mini PC I find is always lacking in some regard. ECC memory is non-negotiable, as is an SFP+ port or the ability to add a low-profile PCIe NIC, and I’m done buying off-brand Chinese crop on Amazon.
If someone with a good reputation makes a reasonably-priced mini PC with ECC memory and at least some way to accept a 10Gb DAC, I’ll probably buy two.
Does anyone happen to know if there is a N100 model that supports HDMI-CEC so I can make my old TV set smart with a recent Kodi and maybe some retro-games? But I’d rather not let it consume 9W or whatever such a machine needs all day long. So it’d need to start and shut down on its own. Preferably without manual additional steps involved, hence the CEC…
I’ve heard but not confirmed that the various NUC models have CEC
Awesome! I was looking for one to gift to my cousins

Just use eBay directly
Also a lot of these listings are junk. The want $100 for like $50 worth of hardware. I personally am waiting for the market to get a little more sane
I found using ebay to be quite slow, and it was hard digging through the listing to find if it had wifi, bluetooth etc.
I’ve found some good deals e.g this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256581174595 for $50.
It isn’t bad I just think it is important to keep in mind many if the listings are deliberately misleading.
Side note I wonder who will buy that listing. It has jumped in popularity thanks to lemmy
Yes, maybe I should add this somewhere: ‘This is an automated tool. Please read the listing and confirm the specifications before ordering.’
Anyone have experience with external HDD enclosures? I currently have two 3.5" HDDs, and I’d like room for two or three more. Reliability is pretty important to me, so something that’ll cut out periodically isn’t going to work.
