mITX boards on amazon any good? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm looking at some CWWK, topton, and oaknode boards online for an upcoming build. I'm throwing proxmox and OPNsense on this. There's a ryzen 8845HS board I'm curious about but there's also some intel boards I could drop an i5-14600T used CPU into that could work well too. Either way I would have an intel ARC GPU in the PCI slot for media decode/encode and a coral TPU in the E-key M2 slot for frigate object recognition.

But I get conflicting info online about these boards being a waste of time and money. I see things about them burning out, or having weird BIOS bugs that never get fixed. On the other hand, NAScompares seems to like these boards. Are these something I should avoid?

IPMI and ECC are not on your wishlist, correct?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 9 points 17 hours ago

I don't know that anyone has collected any sort of data on reliability. I have a CWWK board that's been working well for about a year now.

A cheap N100 or N305 mitx with more ethernet and sata ports already attached is one thing, but I wouldn't wanna risk warranty hell with more money on the line.
Considering you are gonna add a dgpu I would look at a low tdp desktop cpu such as ryzen 7600/9600 from a trusted store instead.

I want zenarmor and suricata. Intel N series chips cannot handle that. The dGPU is just needed for handling media decode and encode, not actual rendering.

[–] non_burglar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

The quicksync built-in to the n100 PR n305 is more than adequate to encode/decode media. If that's all you're using it for, you don't need an Intel arc.

I never recommended the Intel N chips though. :)

How long is the warranty? If the warranty is through the company, how long is the company going to be around?

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works -1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, how much longer is Intel going to be around?

A couple decades at least, if things go extremely poorly for them and keep on doing that.
