Currently downsizing my homelab and selling some of the stuff I have accumulated over the years.
Located in Jelgava, Latvia - EU shipping and local collection/delivery is available.
For EU shipping I normally use Omniva courier (link).

All prices exclude shipping costs. Offers welcome. Bank transfer accepted for payment.

If you are looking to get larger items shipped I can include some freebies.
Photos/videos/tests can be had on request.

The post will be kept up to date and I check messages here daily.

Just a small FYI for everybody interested in mini PC Kontron D3544-S2 - J4105 / 8Gb as an adept for pfsense,
it is dual gigabit, but only one of them is Intel, the other is Realtek...

the linked specs sheet says it clearly:
NETWORK CONNECTION ETHERNET
1x Intel® i210 with 10/100/1000MBit/s,
1x Realtek RTL8111G with 10/100/1000 MBit/s

Otherwise it is great mini PC, I am using it as fanless Kodi client...

Thanks guys, updated the post!

Kontron board is great for Kodi, but I personally feel like it can be better utilised with those 2 SATA ports and fan header. If not sold will probably hack something together in very short 1U chassis.

Do you know if the Kontron D3544-S2 can setup serial port redirection? So it can show bios/boot over the serial port?
Unfortunately I don't and I wouldn't even know where to start. It does come with RS-232 COM connector on the back tho
