I bought a mini PC from Craigslist. AWow AK34. I paid $100 for it. The new list on Amazon is $238.

  • Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J3455 @ 1.50GHz, 4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)
  • 6GB DDR4 RAM
  • 128GB SATA SSD
  • Windows 10 Home
  • Dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC
  • Dual HDMI
  • 5 x USB3.0
  • Bluetooth
  • Wifi included.

 


I opened the device and have a look at it inside.

The M.2 SSD is a 128GB Foresee brand. I can add an additional SATA.

The SATA HDD/SSD can be mounted on the cover with a special cable.

About the power consumption, I measured it with the meter. It is about 10W.

I used it as a router with pfSense.

After I installed the pfSense on it, I disconnected the mouse, keyboard to reduce the power consumption.
