  1. It is niche because of its price, not the other way around. If the price was 10$ more than other n100 I would buy this.
    I just bought an n100 mini with 16gb ram and 512 gb ssd for €200. For fanless I would spent up to €50 more and poe €10. So €260 inc ram and ssd.

  2. I’ve been using PoE Pi devices for my low power home lab and self hosted env, and yes, it’s niche BUT I could use one or two for a cheap low power proxmox for pfSense, freepbx, etc. all my ATA and voip phones are PoE already so it makes sense.

  3. do ha opnsense with a ups with a couple of these and rake in the cash from people who can't set it up – lots of smb want and need HA plus 2.5 – it is less niche than you thin but also compare to something like refurb hp which may end up being better for ability to do 10g at more affordable price point – setting up HA may be a lil crazy but you probably need it yourself and once you get it working image and never have to go through the torture of learning new things again

  4. If it had NVME, this would pretty much be exactly what I’ve been looking for. I would probably set up a low power cluster. I have a lot of POE available and it would just be cleaner from a cable management standpoint. I might get one just to have a low power Proxmox node for some lightweight workloads and to have a 3rd node in my cluster.

  5. All of the primary use cases entirely unmentioned:

    Digital signage
    Computers for signage tend to be located in high and visible places. Powering them from an easily rebootable source is important so that you can troubleshoot remotely.

    POS kiosk
    Your kiosk being powered by POE ensures that any power flickers don’t take down your terminal. It also means that a register that drops off the network can be rebooted remotely.

    Machinery interface
    The RS-232 port connects up to machinery to allow for controlling it. You’d ask why not just plug it into the wall, but power in industrial zones tends to be significantly dirtier than in residential or commercial areas. Massive load spikes cause voltage to drop or fluctuate significantly on a regular basis. Powering your PCs via POE ensures they’re connected to the network equipment which has power conditioners installed.

    This type of PC is super important in enterprise for that POE In port.

  6. It's actually the SIM card that might make it worthwhile for me. I have some rural land with lousy internet options. Unless something major changes before I build something there I am going to need to put some kind of cellular modem in the attic and connected to a switch for the house.

    With this box could run a single network cable up there for power and data, then just have these which downstairs connected to power. Definitely not the only way to do it, but when you start looking at installing extra electrical outlets or buying a cellular modem from microtic it doesn't seem like a bad deal anymore.

  7. For me this is the best use for an IoT computer which can be used for centralization of different networks I use on my premise. Yes no vlans cause each network is managed by different companies and no touchy touchy their network gear just doing regular task on it what I am allowed to do! so for that purpose this is GREAT!

  8. why did u wait?
    Gigabit PoE Splitter 48V to 12V 2A, 5.5×2.5mm DC IEEE 802.3af/at Standard Power Over Ethernet Splitter Adapter for Security IP Camera,Voip Phone, AP (PS5712TG-25)

    there are many POE to 12v converters out there, nothing new.

    an other useless video purely for monetization purpouses. nothing learned or gained here.

  9. POE powered devices are nice but like you stated, it’s hard to justify a use for the price. It would come in handy as a media center PC for basic stuff if there is an Ethernet port but no extra power near a TV, which can happen with a single recessed clock outlet. But that can always be fixed for less than $200 anyways. I think it is best suited for industrial applications where you don’t want it powered on a circuit that is near heavy machinery.

  10. Hey, Fail over. Is it a feature of the system? PoE and a DC barrel connection at the same time. You accidentally reboot your PoE switch will she switch over to DC ….and vice versa.

  11. I have two meLE fanless PCs with PoE to USB-C convertors powering them in two remote locations in my home for Zwave and ZigBee bridges to get them in a more optimal location. Both of these run Proxmox with LXC containers for my Zwave and Zigbee controllers. This means I don't need power at these location and can just pick the best spot for the units. In addition to making it more convenient for location having these as containers means I can easily kick them over to another device if I have a failure and not take a hit on the WAF. I wouldn't need all the features of this unit, but really like PoE devices and could see getting this if I needed these features.

  12. I personally have a funny situation- my ISP router+modem is powered by a little backup battery in my parent's house, but that doesn't provide enough juice to power my pfsense firewall. So I run it using poe via a poe splitter from my rack next door! That way I can power it off my full blown ups in my rack. A device like this would be super handy for my purposes if the price was right!

    That said, you can already power these lil firewalls via poe- you just get a poe splitter that takes out 12v!

  13. I know someone running one of these as a super low power proxmox server running network emulation software for him to learn cisco stuff on. When I asked him why POE his response was basically 'cause it's cool'. Nothing wrong with that.
