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.

Edit: Additional info

serve the home sponsored video sponsored but still really really informative. There’s a section near the end going through a tons of ideas of how to utilize the pci slot, including epanding nvme storage, external sas, extra networking etc. seems you can get over 40gb extra throughput from that port.
