There's nvme m.2 slot populated with 500g and a sata 2.5 cage. 16G RAM.
Beelink S Mini N100 for £166
I have a Beelink GR9. Love the Beelink products. Newer models have thunderbolt port and that will enable PCI-e output. These units will be a beast for DSP (amongst other things).

Unsure why but just couldn't find any coupons or discounted prices on this during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale on aliexpress. Maybe it's because I'm a n00b but missed the boat entirely on getting a second unit. Sad
I dont recommend beelink S Mini N100 for wifi as Ubuntu 23.10 has no driver for the AX101 - oddly 22.04 connected immediately. Its possible to connect using forum patches, but ethernet is better anyway if its practical.

I always disable BT and Wifi on my playback device. Objectively or subjectively I just find SQ is worse with it. Even with wired network cards I find Intel in general to be better than Realtek. <- Having said that I switched to an Intel SFP and that is actually better than wired.

However, with the ZimaBoard I will have to go with a USB SFP solution. Going to test that versus the onboard Zima and see what i preferred. That's the plan anyway, yet to fire the Zimaboard up. Seems the entire world keeps introducing some hurdles every day for me to jump through. :/
