Thanks, I mainly use it for home .net projects,storing my ~500 gb of music and hosting a couple of lightweight API's which are only used by me

Thanks, I want it to be a Linux box so don't want to pay for Windows - I also have a shed load of NVME SSD M2 1 tb drives I can use

I mean I don't know of any that don't have Windows pre-installed, but I haven't really looked. Although if the $169 one works, it's like the price of a windows license all in itself. I don't think you'll get it a whole lot cheaper without windows in that particular case.

I agree. Cheaper than a bag of potting soil.

two examples of what I call link bloat
It would be so nice if copying a link to pass on could optionally remove everything from the ? forward which I believe is there merely to track us around and prehaps generate advertiser link click money
I find it tedious deleting all this off particularly when forwarding on a phone

I probably could have sanitized the links to be honest, but it's fiddly work.

Huh?? Marking from the question mark to the end of the URL and pressing the Del key is 'fiddly work'??

Bothering to look at the url long enough to figure out which parts of the query string are required and which aren't.
I couldn't be bothered. Too fiddly. YMMV.

A lot of the Beelink systems come with an M.2/NVMe drive, but also have a free standard SATA slot. Even 128GB is a ton of space for the OS and a few apps, and then I just throw in a spare SSD for bulk data. The insides for the Beelinks are very easy to get to.

I did not that, and I would have assumed otherwise. Good deal.

Absolutely.
As mentioned, I have a few of them. There are instances where I picked a model with a smaller/cheaper drive, but just replaced/complemented it with a spare I already had.
Likewise with RAM, I've got systems I intentionally bought with less memory than offered as I replaced it anyway with a separate 64GB kit. Right now I have more spare 8/16GB DDR4 sticks than I'll never need...

Do the beelinks have any spare M2 2280 slots in them ?

As a spare, no - most models have a regular SSD (empty) slot for their spare/secondary, while the primary is M.2 (except, I believe, for their cheapest models, which might not even be made anymore).
Although I'm not sure about physical dimensions; your best bet is to check with BeeLink itself (https://www.bee-link.com/), since Amazon listings are often not 100% accurate.

$800 seems extremely expensive...
then again, looking at piece parts at Home Depot, I'm stunned.

They're usually around $300. Sometimes about half that.

Thankyou. Did not know about this site. Good info

I just received a Geekom IT13, rated #4 in your list, and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. It's a bit more powerful than the full-sixed tower I7 machine I built a year ago, and about half the cost.

Why not just get a newer NUC?

Everything is clean inside right?
I'd look hard at the cooler, maybe re-do the paste on the cpu with a new cooler fan and see what happens.

From what I've read Charlie it's a common fault with ageing NUCs

I believe you. the small units are very focused. Still, if you get 10 years out of a system... In my heavy development days, after my laptop hit 3 years, I would start shopping. For my non laptop systems, I build them myself. I know exactly what is going into them. I'm looking at my Ryzen 9 machine that is thundering along after 5 years. The goal was to have sufficient horsepower to run multiple VMs. Eventually I'll get to all VMs.

That's certainly been my experience, and IMO is the untold reason Intel exited the NUC market - thermal management has always been a problem for Intel, and packing that much hardware in a tiny enclosure isn't something they can do while also providing something that'll last.
I still can barely hear the fan in my oldest Beelink even if I stick my ear right on it. When both of my NUCs were near the end of their respective lives, I could hear their fan 24/7 at a distance. I did blow dust out of them regularly with compressed air.
