    I presume these dont come with windows installed?
    mrBrian's avatar
    They come preinstalled with windows 11, I reinstalled windows 11 using a usb (windows 11 images can be downloaded from Microsoft website) it installed as windows 11 pro and was already activated for the machine.

    I read that there could be some spyware installed when you get it. Took less than 15 minutes to install. No big deal.

    I’ve had it a week so far and it has been pretty good.

    What's the total power draw on these? Thinking of using it as a Plex server

    Bought, £98.81 is a steal (edited)
    drayz's avatar
    I run one as plex it's perfect. Uses 12w under load 7w idle. Highly recommend replacing windows 11 with ubuntu server and running docker. Lots of guides online and much more stable and less resource heavy server. (edited)
  3. deleted42352's avatar
    Just ordered one, thanks. I realise these come with EU plug adapters, what's my best bet.. grabbing a cheap EU to UK travel adapter or getting a specific PD adaptor instead etc? (edited)
    Crossbow's avatar
    You have 3 options...
    - Cheap travel converter costing £2-3
    - 12V-3A UK-plug power apapter with 5.5x2.5mm barrel jack costing £6-8
    - This USB-C solution costing somewhat more hotukdeals.com/com…199

    Just bought my second one - great little box. First one runs Proxmox with few WS/Linux VMs, no issues, very stable and pretty much silent. Big difference in power consumption comparing to one of the older gen Tiny PC I was having before.

    It's dual RJ-45 so may play with pfSense next.

    Overall, highly recommended for every homelab enthusiast
    Pepperami_Wideboy's avatar
    I just finished installing OPNsense as a virtual machine on proxmox, and it's routing all my traffic from a virgin media hub in modem mode. So you should be good with pfSense or OPNsense, especially if you're not virtualising it.

    Is the fan noisy on this? Wondering if its worth the 150-200 for a fanless N100 don't care about lots of network ports though.
    CyDoNiA's avatar
    Barely notice the fans on mine.
  6. BoyMath's avatar
    I bought this on a previous deal and it currently runs Unraid and was a great entry point into Homelab. Works absolutely fantastic for me and currently use it alongside an enclosure to work as a NAS/Jellyfin Server.
    infectious's avatar
    What enclosure are you using for the hard drives?
  7. Fraser_Holloway's avatar
    Works fantastic for light usage, I have mine run 24/7 and use RealVNC to connect to it remotely. Shame it doesn't have USB-C but it's not the end of the world. I'd recommend getting a UK power supply too.
  8. Krystufer's avatar
    Wonder why these are so cheap, oh yeah, keyloggers in bios.
    Tafkawac's avatar
    I don't think so. Source?
  9. ally_n_2000's avatar
    Is there anything similar out there that has USB-C? I appreciate it may be a little bit more.
    Crossbow's avatar
    Yes, this has 2x full-function USB-C aliexpress.com/ite…tml
    £157 if paid in GBP or £144 equivalent in USD with a fee-free card - guide here if needed hotukdeals.com/com…518

    Make sure to choose the RAM & SSD sizes correctly & doublecheck on the final checkout screen...

    can some one tell me. is this just a pc but tiny? ie i can boot up windows and attached a mouse and keyboard and monitor and power supply and play games on it?
    Tafkawac's avatar
    Yes. You'll not get much serious gaming done though .Great as a retro emulator and more suited as a media box. Will manage Fortnite on 720p low settings or around that.
  11. Tafkawac's avatar
    This is the way. Great media device plays 4k without issue. Works out better value than a RPi5 and outperforms. If you need the tinkering but then maybe Pi is for you, but power, performance and value - this is the win.
    jzedward's avatar
    I have several pi's but this is a real deal when you take acct of power supply and storage costs (and the 16gb) this is better
  12. DistortedVision's avatar
    Slightly cheaper using the Anniversary sale discount code:

    hotukdeals.com/dea…179
  13. drapertron's avatar
    I bought and set up one for a colleague to use as a general browsing/productivity PC - it's a really nice bit of kit.

    Comes with an EU plug though, so you'll need an adaptor, or could just purchase a 12V/3A power lead which is what I did.
  14. OfAlienOrigin's avatar
    Nice one, been on the lookout for one of these for light office work and possibly a Plex server down the line. Pleasantly surprised that this thing supports three displays as well, very handy for productivity.
  15. sulyl's avatar
    Brilliant little machines. Loaded mine up with Proxmox and got Plex span up on it to replace my windows server. Similar power level as my windows i5 but much lower power usage. Tempted to pick up another on as a backup server.
    pwpwpw's avatar
    Basic question sorry- how do you do the storage? I'm new to proxmox and have been struggling to setup a usb drive as a NAS
  16. womars's avatar
    Currently being offered at £89.71 - this is with 11% off if you have some coins to burn…

    dcx_badass's avatar
    I'm getting £96.50, that's using the $12/£10 off, but how are you using so many coins? I have ~3000 coins and it's only using 227 so $2.27.
  17. dcx_badass's avatar
    Thanks, can see it for £84.63 paying in dollars with a fee free card, very tempting but must resist.
  18. Maratain's avatar
    I posted a similar deal and I diddnt know about the hukd codes for AliExpress, wonder if they stack? Tried to test but the website and app for AliExpress are a nightmare lol

    Product link goes to a broken page. Is this no longer available?
    jonmunson's avatar
    I had the same issue, found one same price on this link:

    aliexpress.com/ite…tml

    Just make sure to select the N100 version
  20. Shigllgetcha's avatar
    Great snapped this up, wanted something to use xbox and steam remote play from the sitting room and maybe some emulation
  21. FrankTheFurter's avatar
    Looking at possibly going for a PC to play around with a NAS system including Plex, would this be a good option for Plex inc. transcoding and a NAS software like UnRaid? Still learning/deciding between building my own or going for a pre-built Synology. Thanks!
    t3r4's avatar
    Depends on the storage you plan, if you want hard drives a proper size case with bays may be better for the storage side.

    I've used an Elitedesk I bought on eBay as my NAS and it works well. I'm not virtualizing running bare open media vault.
  22. thetreesergeant's avatar
    Any good for Roblox?
  23. mehdi.tlili's avatar
    DDR4 or 5? It is not clear on the page
    Crossbow's avatar
    The Plus model with the N100 has DDR5, single-channel as single slot & this is what the chip supports.
  24. iminhull's avatar
    I have an ageing Fujitsu Celsius workstation that has been running Plex for years. I am considering buying one of these to replace it, but I'll need somewhere to put the 7-8 media HDD drives. Or do I keep the workstation and turn it into a NAS? I'm not bothered about raid, I'd rather keep it as JBOD. Any suggestions?
    MrKrabs's avatar
    Could get an N100 based itx motherboard and stick in an Itx case with space for all your drives. Will work out a bit more expensive than this but a neat solution
  25. malhal's avatar
    The T9 being released might be why the T8 is so cheap
  26. ahdvd's avatar
    Hundreds of these mini pc’s on that site, i’ve not kept up with pc components, how do you tell what’s really good and worth it and which ones aren’t? 
  27. sean_numark's avatar
    These any good as an emulation pc like a Pi?
  28. pwpwpw's avatar
    I currently have laptop running proxmox for Plex and Home Assistant.

    It's neat having a battery for the one time a year we get a power cut.

    Does the BIOS on this allow auto boot after power on?
    umirza85's avatar
    Believe it does
