Today we have a review of the Protectli FW4A-0-4-32 or Protectli FW4A. If you want the extra muscle.Protectli appliances have been a topic on the STH forums recently. Qotom also has i3 and i5 versions of the same machine available, for about $100 to $150 more. You'll spend around $300 total after adding RAM and an SSD to one of these, depending on what exactly you opt for there. The one I purchased most recently is still available I make no guarantees it's the absolute best model to buy right now, I literally just dug it out of my order list, but it still shows available at $170 after shipping. Other than that, literally just look for Celeron builds from Qotom on Amazon. And since I haven't built it yet, I don't know what the performance will be like (though I'd confidently put it up against even high-end consumer gear on spec, given that it's similar CPU to what's in a Netgear Nighthawk, and given how well plain Ubuntu did versus various devices in my tests at Ars Technica). Full disclosure: no HDMI out on espressobin, so if you're not okay with needing to go serial console, it's not going to be for you. I actually just bought the espressobin + bits and pieces myself everything's here but the case, which I'm still waiting for. (I'd advise going with ABS plastic, not PLA, if you go this route.) By the time you buy espressobin, a 32G sdcard, a power supply, and a case, you're out about 135 or 140 bucks. ![]() The toughest part is finding a case I had to order one from a vendor that prints from designs on thingiverse. If you're up for a challenge and you dig low power draw low cost, you could try espressobin (just google it).
