This is one of the best homelab servers I ever had. Not the most powerful, but really silent, very small footprint and it feels so reliable compared to much higher-speced (but same price range) computers I've had in the past. Really love it.

This is not about the specific box, which I have no idea about, and it may be the perfect solution. But: I've had mixed experiences with low-cost Intel/AMD boxes. Sometimes issues with Linux drivers, sometimes the quality of the components, heat, PSU, my feeling is they optimize for spec numbers and price at the cost of quality. The RPi ecosystem seems to be able to charge a premium (if you compare specs and add the cost of assembly) and deliver more reliable products. I don't have enough data to back this, but it's been my limited, personal experience.
