SOLD!! MINISFORUM GK50 Fanless Mini PC 8GB 256GB SSD Pentium N5030 Desktop Computer

[Rey]

This is a MINISFORUM GK50 like new condition with 8 gigs of ram and a 256GB SSD. Can't post it's brand new since I did open it and installed Ubuntu as a 2nd OS. But I never really got to use the thing and I am way passed the return window. This little thing works great and includes the power supply, HDMI cable and what you need to attach to the rear of your monitor so it's completely out of site. Has Windows 11 and the latest Ubuntu OS installed. Just access the boot menu at start up to choose Ubuntu and you can change it to the default OS if needed in the Bios. I paid $330 but obviously I can't list it for that price. Asking for $249 with FREE shipping included. Paypal is fine but if you use Venmo I'll knock off another $10.

Thank you for looking at my listing.

Hey Chip. Hanging in there my friend, hope you're well.

I think it's a good deal for someone, I run a few mini's. That PC will do alot for the price, but the celeron is the letdown for me. For basic internet, video play back and word it's a fine machine. I really was considering it, but I have 2 I5's and a I7 already.

I hear ya. If you're still interested you can pm me and maybe we can work something out. If not no worries, it'll sell either way.

I have the Intel NUC version of it. damn good machine, just got used to the I5's and I7's, guess I am prejudice.

 

[Rey]

Sold!

 

[Comptech]

Ok, new drive, M.2 on the way. Yours as a backup, downloaded all the drivers looking forward to Tuesday.Also have a spare 2.5 drive to put in it. I am loving the tiny's and mini's.

 

[Comptech]

Rey is great, got it today and everything is there. Nice little machine. Typing on it now. I put channelsDvr on it and works well, also DSD+Fastlane and is decoding fine. Tomorrow the 512 gig m.2 arrives and will put windows on it and install the 256 gig sata SD for linux. Still debating what distro to put on it. Help me out guy's.

Debian, if you are going to put Channels on the Linux side, might as well go with the same linux distro it's written for.

 

[Comptech]

MX Linux I think I will trying have never given it a test run.

 

[Comptech]

Opted to just do a 500 gig M.2, This little thing gets toasty.

 

[Comptech]

Not complaining, but this thing will burn a hole in the table Linux it is, just to hot to run windows. Still a fun toy though.

 

[Comptech]

I am typing on it now, it is hot. I put a heatsink on the M.2 drive, but still very hot to touch. Let's see what it is like with Linux. It woks, but my slower Intel NUC is faster and more stable. Chinese, what else needs to be said, not good, but not bad.

 

[Rey]

So the M2 is making the unit hot?

 

[Comptech]

Smoking hot, I still like it, need to add a fan. Going straight Linux now, see if it takes a load off of it.

If not you may have to go back to the regular ssd.

 

[Comptech]

Not sure it is the M.2. It came with one, got really hot also. Trying Linux MS now will see if it cools it down.Win11 is to much for this thing. zjust need to find what it's happy with. You did not build it, no problems there.

 

[Comptech]

Be back in a few mintes.
