So some time ago earlier this year I salvaged a Ryzen 2200G from a PC that needed a purpose and decided to put it in a DeskMini X300 with WiFi and give it a try for use as a Plex server that had been previously running on my Synology DS920+ NAS. I reused a spare Wraith Stealth cooler (with fan shroud removed), some old 2.5in SSD's off my shelf, and some affordable 32GB of DDR4 Crucial SODIMM memory. I was actually quite impressed by this little box, the STX form factor motherboard, and how much you could pack into this tiny little box with a standard APU.
Unfortunately like with other very small form factor PC's this board doesn't support ECC memory or IPMI which would have made it more ideal for a little home server box.
Since I use mine as a Plex server I also tweak some power settings so when not in use it will sleep but wake up when I want to access my media.
There is an option in UEFI/BIOS too to enable wake on LAN. (image not shown)
Also in the UEFI/BIOS there are various options to set the unit to 65w, 45w, or 35w modes.
