Solid 24/7 Box for Desktop

Bought as my family's Plex Media Server. Mine came with a keyboard and mouse. First I updated the bios. Easy online update in bios. The Kingfast 256 GB SSD was fixed with a screw in the other hole due to a broken thread. Not a deal breaker for me. Slower than my Samsung 850 evo ssd. I added a half-height Quadro P400 card and a 2x8GB DDR4 2133 Corsair, picking a total of 24GB. The dolphin emulator works well. Reliable box that works 24/7. There were no blue screens or random reboots. If you are using an integrated graphics card, you may need a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. You can also consider using a PCI-e adapter to add more SATA ports or some NVME ports depending on your storage needs instead of adding a graphics card. Remember that this SFF box requires a half-height mount. For the price, I had lower expectations, which were definitely exceeded. I would recommend this PC for a reasonable price. Works out of the box with no problems and very quiet.
