This looks like an amazing little box that can do almost anything. I’m wondering how people feel about the pricepoint
$679 early bird
$839 msrp
I’d love to grab one to use as a router/firewall, plus run any homelabbing containers I have on my NAS.
How’s the value proposition stack up? Price looks great to me considering the cpu and connectivity it offers.
I’m wondering what all the Ethernet ports are good for in a home server setting? I have my box hooked up to the router but that’s it. Seems like overkill to me.
“Being a router” is what they are good for! Even needed.
Edit to be more specific: two switches in each of the 10gbit and redundant uplink would be a setup I can see, depending on your line.
No overkill there :)
