Wasn't this announced a few months back?

At any rate, it's a more then welcome refresh, and makes it much easier to have an EPGU setup.

Also shout out to he Lander 37 / Lander 55 3d printable cases for the deskminis. One offers a much more compact package while the other offers superior cooling.
 
DDR5 CSODIMM memory ... whatever that is. CUDIMM in Sodimm size?

[ai answer - low quality most likely]
CSODIMM stands for Clocked Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module, which is a type of DDR5 memory module designed for compact systems. It features a clock driver to enhance signal integrity and performance, making it suitable for high-speed applications

It'S really bad to sell it as DDR5 when it is not DDR5. They should have named it DDR5C or something like that. DDR3L was clear what it was for example.
 
I really wish they would enable ECC support with these little boxes. STX 2L form factor server would be nice even if it's limited to 65w.
 
Uh huh.....

So, newly updated, not-so-mini, mini-me boxes, just a little bigger & faster....

Wow, whodathunkit possible ?

And I wonder just how many arms, legs, kidneys, 1st bornes, and left cahoneies/mammaries these little jewels are gonna cost us.....

Oh do tell please.......





NOTE: My guess is ~$1.5-2.5K....... tell me I'm wrong :D
 
Hey, so... what use case are these small PC's for?
Portability? Because I feel like a laptop would work better.
But if its for office use, I guess it would kinda make sense...
I just want to know what you would use it for?

You are so incredibly wrong I feel someone should revoke your internet loisence.

The current x600 deskmeet barebones is $161 on newegg, and complete builds range from $4-600 depending on specs.

When you want a small PC that doesnt dominate a desk. Just like it says on the tin.
