Right, Dell, HP and Lenovo make tiny / micro PC's. I really like the Lenovo's however my preference is Dell, but it looks like HP offers the most daughter cards for theirs including a 10gig eithernet port. This makes me sad in a way because I don't like HP computers 🙂

I am not sure, I have been ordering Refurbished Lenvo T900's with 16gb ram and the i7 6700T in them for about $170 US, I found some T920's with the i7 8700T for around $300 US. Then I replace the drive that came with them with either a 1 or 2TB nvme and 64gb of ram. I never heard of the Beelink GT, it looks like it is good for what it does, but its not going to have the power and customizability that I want from a straight up pc and Windows is easier for me to work with than Android. Anything newer than an i7 8700T the prices sky rocket to $800-$1000 and I am not looking to pay brand new prices, and to get DDR5, I would need a 13th gen Intel processor.

The last full tower I built had a Q6600 processor in it 🙂 Since then it has all been about portability, meaning, Maxed Alienware Laptops, the Current laptop is a Clevo x170sm-g. I have no reason for a full tower anymore. I also have a couple Dell PowerEdge 2U rack servers for other stuff. Now I am exploring the world of Micro/Mini/ Tiny PC's just because they are so light, easily hidden, can be used a plex, pi-hole, etc other types of servers. I have been using Lenoo M900's with nvme drives and maxed ram at 64gb. But I am looking for more in this form factor. I saw the Minis Forum MS-01 and I really wish there was something in a similar, maybe slightly larger form factor with an Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX Processor, 4 SO-DIMM slots for 128 or 256gb DDR 5 and 4 M.2 NMVe slots with 2 x 2.5gb ports and 2 SFP ports for up to 40gb networking and 2 low profile PCE slots. The Intel T series processors are ok, but I really want an HX series i9

Have you seen the videos about the solid state coolers without fans? apparently they are scalable for things as small as smart phones to rack servers.

X170sm-g watching youtube

Yesterday I called Falcon to look at a DRX laptop,,,, Unfortunately the high end i9 is an HX mobile processor and I was like yeah, nope. I guess I will have to buy a pelican case and build a full tower in it with a car battery to make a new laptop if I want desktop power in a portable form factor.

The 10900KF should be fine with 4k displays? -

😄 Would any of these work and are any of them newer than the rtx3080? I assume game support is limited for quattro cards. https://www.advantech.com/en/products/nvidia-mxm-gpu-cards/sub_08465970-d3a1-44e2-8aa8-7e84eb1cd608 -

Where can I find binned CPU's if I want to try a different 10900K or 10900KF in my X-170?
-
To be completely honest, I never hear them kick on for example, if I am playing Diablo 4 or something and the fans in the X170 kick up, you can hear that , compared to that, I I cannot remember the last time I heard the fans in the power brick kick on. I know they are working because I put my hand behind it and air is flowing. But I am really glad I went that route over 2 power bricks.

I recently have been upgrading my NIC in the laptop from Wi-Fi 6 to 6E and now to BE (Wi-Fi 7). In most laptops there are 2 antennas and they are usually routed through the laptop screen somewhere. What I want to do is split those 2 antennas and have the second line going to ports on the back of the laptop for external antennas like puting a wi-fi card in a desktop with 2 antennas sticking out the back of the card slot in the hopes of getting longer range or distance and faster speeds off the wi-fi with external antennas. I just don't want to disable or cut the internal antenna wires.

I replaced my Intel / Killer Wi-Fi 6 nic with a WiFi 6E card and Windows 10 will not display 6ghz wi-fi networks, but you can enable 6Ghz networks in the adapter settings. It just won't let you choose a 6Ghz network in the wi-fi list (Windows 10) Then I upgraded the NIC to a BE200NGW for 6Ghz (160 and 320 Mhz) and changed to windows 11 and everything shows up and I can connect to 6Ghz networks in Windows 11.
-
When I bought my x170 I got the single 780watt charger, it is a beast its almost like a miniature rack server power supply with fans, etc.
-
I saw a listing on amazon for the IETS GT600 , but its only a listing, nothing for sale yet and their website status hasn't changed at all. It must be vaporware.
-
Well, I tried hacking the registry, apparently you can enable 6Ghz wi-fi through making some registry changes, but the 6Ghz networks won't show up in the list of wi-fi networks. Then I got serious about using NTLite to edit the ISO packages for windows, waited for 23H2 and spend a few hours here and there and after about 4 weeks messing with edited 23H2 ISO's settled on one with all the bloat from windows 11 removed or disabled and installed in on the computer as a fresh install.

Installed the BE200NGW and it is working fine...... 160Ghz and 320Ghz Bands
-
Has anyone tried this on their X170sm-g's? I cannot seem to get it to detect the fans and sensors. https://getfancontrol.com/
-
Ok, I am confused the Killer 1650 is what I pulled out of the x170 sm-g and I ordered the BE200NGW and NGW cards fit the x170-sm-g. Did I miss something when ordering the new wi-fi card or will it fit as an "E" key card?

I just got it to work through the browser
-
Trying an ftp client and its not working. Oh well. I guess I can use Fedora, I prefer K.

On Knoppix website, the latest version for download is 9.1 and it is almost 2 years old. It seems like the latest versions get released on DVD with the latest Linux Magazines (print) and they are only available in German. Since Knoppix 9.1, versions 9.2 and 9.3 have been released with the magazine and are available no where. Is it possible to get the magazine with the Knoppix 9.3 DVD or USB key in the United States somewhere, all I am getting is dead ends.

Yeah, the wi-fi 7 routers on the market now start at $699 and go up to $2499, how on earth did routers get that expensive, you could build a mini tower with 2 quad port nics, one for inbound and one for outbound traffic with opensource router software and make out about the same as an enterprise router for less than $1000.
-
Well, they are finally starting to show up...... Wi-Fi 7 nics for laptops...... Hello full speed wi-fi over a 2GB fiber connection.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CLV9C8TZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are great ideas, but how do you fit 2.5 inch drives in an x170sm-g? Can the space the battery is in be converted? I mean 45 minutes of run time is nice, but it really needs a wall outlet to run 🙂
