This is $87 ??!! TexHoo N100 based MiniPC

[@ewenchan1239]

For $87 -- that's not bad at all. I just priced out how much it would cost for me to add 16 GB of DDR4-3200 SODIMM RAM and a 500 GB WD NVMe SSD and it ended up being $163.47 USD vs. the ~$136 and change that they were charging. So, it's actually quite a good deal.

[@hackdesigner]

Praise where it's due: the guys even exposed the FAN sensor. Attention to details.

[@wuuurmm758]

Thumbs up for the attitude. It would be interesting to see a long term stress test of some of these low cost boxes and Frankenstein boards. Running them under full load and then cooling again for 10,000 cycles or something but idk who has time for that.

[@dktol56]

For Pete's sake, use a plastic spudger or guitar pic. Metal pry tools tend to damage plastic more, and are potentially bad news around electronics.

[@TechnicallyUnsure]

You are absolutely right, I just had that near me, grabbed it and started using it. Should have used a plastic pry tool

[@akurenda1985]

That n100 PCIe limit is a real killer for NVMe performance.

[@DJDocsVideos]

Yea It's the Raspberry Pi 5 all over again.

[@jzlazy1057]

Huh! That looks like a sweet deal!

[@TechnicallyUnsure]

It is!

[@Phil-D83]

Useful for docker,etc

[@Nevakonaza.]

The top lid appears to have a built in 2.5" Adapter for an SSD/HDD however i cant see any Sata or power connection on the board?

[@TechnicallyUnsure]

Ys, I briefly mention it somewhere in the video, there's a proprietary connector for SATA, but I don't have their cable and don't know if they even sell that

[@Nevakonaza.]

@@TechnicallyUnsure Yeah its odd that its not included, Great channel :)

[@TechnicallyUnsure]

Thank you!

[@JazzTechie]

This is the perfect no-build hardware for all those emulation gamers I see leaving comments these days.

[@magneticanimalism7419]

So did you order the dual Ethernet port model from the store page and get the single port model?

[@r0galik]

I love the comment mocking. Happy xmas

1:37 Just to let you know, that isn't C#, it's Java. C# Hello World would look like this: using System; namespace TexHooApp { class TexHoo { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } } } But just outputting Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); should work as well.

[@TechnicallyUnsure]

Thanks for pointing that out

[@accrevoke]

Hmm, 3 of these and maybe a mod to the power adapter to convert to use USB power (instead of the very cheap looking power adapter) would be a pretty nice startup homelab. 3-node container cluster?

[@nalinux]

Interesting for this price.

[@johnafterdeath]

What's a good nvme drive to get that isn't going to get bottlenecked?

[@TechnicallyUnsure]

In my previous videos I was showing this and they had some discount, you can check it out www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNTFVVGD

[@DJDocsVideos]

On this machine the pottleneck isn't the drive b ut the connection it's just one PCIE 3 Lane. For full Gen 3 SSD drive performence it would have to be connected with 4 PCIE Lanes. You probably know this but for people who don't the m.2 NVME interface is just an other connector for PCIE So for a Gen 3 SSD full speed you need a m.2 NVME interface with 34PCIE 3 Lanes for Gen4 SSD you need a m.2 NVME interface with 4 PCIE 4 Lanes and for Gen5 you need a m.2 NVME interface with 4 PCIE 5 Lanes. So in short there is no NVME SSD on the market that isn't bottlenecked by just one PCI Gen 3 Lane. Get the cheapest that you trust.

[@MH-jz1po]

The listing says Dual Lan Mini Computer but the video shows a single??? Anyone order one of these?

[@michaeldmorrison]

qn10 is dual 2.5g, qn11 is single 1g, pics confirm.

[@frustratedalien666]

I ordered the twin 2.5G version immediately. This is cheap af

[@Nightingale1887]

It is not exactly cheap since there are multiple systems on ALiX for this price with similar specs (and for only a few dollars more with SSD & RAM - even if you pick the 128GB 8GB DDR4 RAM variant - it is just a regular price for these kind of pc's). I have a few of these systems N100 12GB DDR5 4000, N100 DDR4 16GB DDR4 3200 and a N97 16GB 3200. DDR5 makes a big difference.

[@rigen97]

tangential but like there's really no reason for game like that prince of persia that you played to not play at 60 fps on an N100. it's a 2.5D side-scroller, we've been making that for more than a decade, what could ubisoft cram in it that slows it down so?

[@frankwong9486]

Omfg the dual 2.5G version was so cheap

[@DJDocsVideos]

Sadly only available in the US and Japan it seems 😞

[@GausOfficialChannelTM]

now is already 130$ :(

[@ranjitmandal1612]

Nice

[@blooder81]

Better check for malware and virus.

[@ghost_of_you_tube]

Nice😮

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

It looks great, I wish you publish the video 2 weeks earlier.

[@zockerschnitzl6604]

ok.

[@JDWatkins]

Whiney, condescending.. This is the first of your videos I have seen... I hope all your videos aren't like this.
