Recent price increases are entirely due to
1. 50%+ price increases on boards/cases
2. Tarriff increases on computer parts
3. 100%+ price increases on DDR4 RAM
I was able to get this model with DDR4 RAM to reduce prices due to exponential price increases for DDR5 RAM. This model also has an upgraded chassis with a fan cutout in the bottom. It also comes with a free basic fan that you can install if you choose to.
This is an Intel N150 fanless mini-PC with 4x i-226V 2.5 Gbe Ethernet ports. This is a slight upgrade to the N100 chip.
The N150 chip runs at up to 3.6GHz (MAX) and operates at a very cool 6.5 TDW)
These have an enhanced heavy aluminum duty thermal cooling chassis.
To ensure quality, I had these boxes shipped with no SSD or RAM, so I procured and installed quality components from reputable manufacturers.
For pre-built units, I manually configure each device. This is to ensure that it powers on, detects components, OS is successfully installed and there is a working USB and HDMI port for manual configuration.
This device is perfect for use as a PFSense or OpnSense firewall. If you are using a different OS, MAKE SURE it supports N150 chipsets and Intel i226 NIC ports.
While I do not sell or support the OS, Installation of PFsense or OpnSense is included with your firewall purchase at no additional cost.
This model comes with PFSense 2.7 by default.
If you would like OpnSense installed, please let me know when ordering.

NOTES:
These will come set with

Port1 = LAN
The N150 CPU only officially supports up to 16GB RAM. In some cases, they have been shown to work with 32GB. You are welcome to try this, but dont count on 32GB working.
This model DOES NOT come with built-in Wi-Fi. You can add Wi-Fi if you would like but will need to add all hardware. Opnsense/PFsense WiFi adapter support is minimal. Most people will use a standalone AP with this device. I can give recommendations upon request.
I include a free basic 8010 fan for people who want to use it. These are basic fans. I do not guarantee these to work. If I could find a high quality 8010 ball bearing fan, I would offer one.
If you feel that your device will be used in a hot area and needs a fan, I recommend using a higher quality external USB-powered fan. I have these on my store.
