This looks like an interesting alternative to a NUC, mainly as it gives a option of adding a discrete GPU, and changing the CPU.

The dimensions look like they may be off, the height in particular. Although it's certainly in the SFF size category.


It supports 65W AM4 socket CPUs, which does give options for upgrades and could be fairly powerful for it's size with something like the upcoming Ryzen 5700X.


Given that you can't buy it without a CPU, it makes most sense for someone planning to use it, at least for a while, with the included Ryzen 7 4700G or 5700G.


Sadly, I can't think of a use case for it at the moment, or else I'd probably buy one just to check it out.  I have a 600W SFF PSU and Radeon RX480 that I'm not using right now, and I think that would probably make for a pretty good entry level gaming system.


How do you feel about the exposed graphics card, and power supply?
