n5105

After going through the thread on the Topton NAS motheboard and seeing others' builds, I too built a home NAS using the N5105 version of the motherboard and the Jonsbo N2 NAS case. I also made a video (linked in the blog post mentioned below) comparing the sound of the default Jonsbo N2 case fan...

After watching/reading the reviews on STH for this little unit I decided to get one for myself and try out Proxmox and VMs with PfSense with the intention on going with a multi gig connection. It handles my gigabit connection without any issues and I ended not going multi gig since I don't have...

Hi, I want to purchase a n5105 + i226-V 4 port firewall unit from Topton. They offer the same hardware in 3 different cases. There's 1 unit cheaper in a smaller chassis, I was wondering if temperature wise, it would be a bad move to cheap out a bit and get this over the bigger units that seem...

I got one of the smaller aliexpress mini pc box without ram & storage. I got a smaller chassis to save desk space. From what I've seen the smaller chassis runs a little hot. I have a low power drive to go in it but I was wondering if it was worth even considering power usage ram wise with these...

Hey guys! I want to build a low power ceph cluster! Rejected Xeon "X79" LGA2011 etc I've considered getting some old Xeon LGA2011 or whatever servers from AliExpress which would make cost low, ECC RAM abundant and IO aplenty. But they'll probably idle at at least 60W each for just the...
