Not stupid, just lazy. Google it for god sakes.

Looks like a sandwich/packed lunch box
Does the top peel off like that?

Hot anyway :smiley:

There were 4 questions there that you brazenly expected people to answer for you. That, in my opinion is being a chancer, especially as most were not questions of opinion, they were easily verifiable technical details.

​Put her money away! Go to one of the refurb outlets and get yourself a core2duo dell 755/760. Hundreds of these about ex govt/ company machines get sff or my versions not usff Around £50-60 mark. Then by yourself a evga gt610 graphics card ( works out the box) then follow this guide

to the letter!

bang fully working hackintosh

It is still available on that price............

Tiny spec, no choice of software, and half the drive bays, for the sake of £55. Microserver worth the extra :smiley: What's it max out at, 50, 60 MB/s? That's not the drives or the network limiting things you know!

Thanks. I intend to get a graphics card anyway and connect over HDMI.

The display port on the 760 doesn't carry audio.

Bought this for £50 (best offer):

:smiley:

anyone know which SODIMM memory these take? i couldn't find out from googling :disappointed:

do have to remove lid first

try magic

I don't see why not. It's just another computer at the end of the day. I wouldn't do that from a tablet though.

Unfortunately I don't even have a TV at all. I thinking along the lines of booting some Linux live distro with SSH preconfigured.

I've got one of these plugged to my microwave. Awesome ****!

Plug it into a tv with hdmi, when I first tried to set up my nuc, I had to use a 720p tv, it wouldn't work on a 1080p tv.
You can try to install from a usb cd drive, but a bootable usb stick might be easier. You might need to change bios settings to get it to boot.

In a world of ever dwindling sea fish numbers, this is stupid.

Could this theoretically controlled via SSH from a tablet? I mean is there a way to install an OS without a monitor?

Wonder why they put useless freedos on these instead of a linux distro ?
e.g. Linux Mint - then you'd have a usable machine out of the box.

N.m.m.bk

Thank you, very helpful indeed!

Yep. Like I stated in my 3rd sentence. Ram so cheap right now that I would simply put the 2gb in the bin, not even worth the time to eBay it, and throw in a 8GB stick.
These barebones units are mainly bought by blokes who like to tinker, and who hasn't got a spare drive and soddim lying around, purchase at an irresistible price thanks to this very site? :wink:

thanks for your not-helpful-and-lazy-answer mate.

people are saying this is slow, but if you can stack it what's the problem?

Or you could buy the official hard drive module which sits on the top.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Memory-Module-2-5%C2%A0inch-5400%C2%A0RPM/dp/B0183NPHPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461591658&sr=8-1&keywords=acer+revo++module

It has a fan ? That's unbelievable - must be the only N3050 minipc that has - definitely avoid !

No. I bought both.

This one is slow, noisy & hard to upgrade.

If the internal storage ever failed you could run the OS from an external USB using the 3.0 Port.

That doesn't include ram or storage though? So isn't £12 more. it's considerably more

Only worth it if you want for specific purpose. Many will be dazzled by the price and the gimmicky size but think about how much use youll get from it in reality.

Only the other modules in the same range AFAIK, there are some examples in my original post.

All these so called "32GB SSD" units are pretty crap - whether laptops or mini pcs.

They usually have no internal sata interface and the SSD is not an SSD, it is slow eMMC storage which is usually soldered into place - which means if it fails, you can junk the whole unit!

False economy - don't buy!

If your just streming video via openelec I'm hoping this should be pretty good? Assuming you can install openelc over the existing Win10?

​i use a dlink 320l as a Plex server, works great

i'd recommend something like an intel nuc, much faster and better supported

Faster, cheaper, and room for more hard drives yes, but bigger, noisier, and will suck more power.... :smiley:

For a server your best bet is the HP Microserver deals, lovely little box.

​White Collar? :sunglasses:

Is this a more powerful machine than the one they did for £99.99 on Black Friday?

What's the chance that this CPU/GPU would handle N64 emulation? Also, any idea if it can do 1080/24p?

nice little HTPC i think. Just pop some VLC and play from the NAS and away I go.

Have some heat OP

How do you install if there's no optical drive

Many thanks!

or if it was my Ex; hiding it in the kitchen ? why bother, hiding it, she never went in there :smiley:
Its so small it will easy fit between the joists under the floorboards.

For 12 quid more you can get the Brix from Amazon with J1900. It has twice the cpu grunt (roughly) which will be noticeable at some point. Doesn't come with 2GB ram, 32GB Memory or Dos, should you need such things.

that is very interesting. ​what other net top can it currently stack with for example?

a few stupid questions:
1> How good is the CPU?
2> Is it quick for webbrowsing and youtubing?
3> Can I put in another SSD next to the original 32GB SSD?
4> Is it fanless (ie quiet/noisy?)?

what are the Pogo pins for?

Yes indeed, PassMark for this CPU is 928 - C2D about 1700
but would be bigger wouldn't be as energy efficient. :smiley:

Now, where can I hide this from the Mrs after only just getting a "required" Microserver? :laughing:

And here too now. The bit about X people about to buy is gone as well.

Just wondering would an old desktop PC with C2D 2.6GHz with 4G RAM or similar work better? as there are quite a lot on eBay, thinking to setup an ubuntu server with plexserver on it.

And here

Toasty :smiley:

£79.98 here :smiley:

39 people are not buying this anymore. :P

Price back to 119,99

I used to have a client who went native. Her name was Mei Ling.

Great to know. I'm trying to think of the best way utilise this as a perimeter device with multiple NICs. I'd probably need to go down the USB NIC route

Thanks for reply

So I guess plex transcoding wouldn't work very well on this?

If the CPU was a little faster would have gone for a couple of these

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Celeron+N3050+%40+1.60GHz

Probably able to install Openelec(LibreELEC)

Anyone know if you can hackintosh this?

Wow! They're still doing that Free DOS? Good price though...

Where can you get the graphics slice?

Will this run w7 or w10 ?
