    Prebuilt [SFFn] ASRock's DeskMini A300 - Finally!

    wow, what a crazy thing to try! I can't help, but I would be very interested to know if you succeed. Can I ask why you want to do this? Is it for blueiris or gaming? If it's gaming, I would probably just do windows 10 on bare metal or dual boot if you want to play with proxmox a little.

    dell optiplex 5055 SFF cost can be beaten?

    nice! considering a fractal design nano s as well: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/snHRhy It gives a bit more room and support for 3.5" hard drive which the node 202 does not. To be honest, I'd rather go two SSDs on the node 202. However, the extra room for easier cable management/installation...

    dell optiplex 5055 SFF cost can be beaten?

    actually if you pick mini itx, there is only 4 builds under $600. Still I was able to see it's possible. I started playing around and I came up with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P2KhxG Have to do some more research though. 1. Most builds had the thermaltake v1 mini case. I didn't like...

    dell optiplex 5055 SFF cost can be beaten?

    I'm looking for a SFF desktop with ryzen pro and vega 11 graphics card. I want to add a second graphics card so it has to have expandable PCI express slots. I believe the optiplex 5055 SFF meets my needs. However, I am wondering if I should just build it myself. I can get the optiplex...

    nvm about the optiplex SFF, I realized the integrated GPU was weak. I'm thinking something that size with a vega 11 integrated video card with a pci x4 expansion slot. Does that exist?

    Mid range prebuilt sff for light gaming?

    I looked at these 3 and none of them have pci express expansion slots. That is something that is on the optiplex 7050. Looks like these are half the size of the optiplex 7050 I have, which is really tempting, but I want to try dual video cards for pci passthrough. So this is a bit too extreme...

    Mid range prebuilt sff for light gaming?

    What's a prebuilt mid range sff home pc that can do some light gaming and web browsing? I have the optiplex 7050 at work and wish I could have one at home. But it's an i7 and probably $1500 or more. Anything close to that in quality for half the price? Doesn't have to be an i7 as gaming doesn't...
