CWWK i3-N305 Benchmarks & Power Consumption

5 January 2025 By Justin

As previously admitted I have a bit of an obsession with mini-ITX / SBC (single board computers). I love the concept of getting maximum performance in a small form factor, preferably using as little power as possible and as near silent as possible. Depending where you live in the world today, electricity is becoming a […]

CWWK i3-N305 NAS mini-ITX board

9 September 2024 By Justin

I’ve been keeping an eye for a while on new boards based on the Intel N305. I’m a great fan of the Alder Lake N100, so a similarly low-powered offering with double the core count is too good to pass up. Recently this popped up on AliExpress: CWWK 12th Generation I3-N305 N100 2 Intel I226-V […]

Mele Quieter 2Q in Proxmox Cluster?

31 August 2024 By Justin

You might think it a little odd for anyone to get excited about a J4125-based mini-PC in 2024, and you’d be right, but being a couple of generations short of cutting edge doesn’t mean this tiny computer is totally irrelevant. There are a few flavours of the Mele Quieter 2Q knocking about but the one […]

ASRock N100DC-ITX Proxmox Install

28 August 2024 By Justin

Hello! My name is Roving Climber and I’m a SBC / mini-ITX addict. If you’re reading this you might have the same problem. Symptoms can include a news-feed packed with single-board computers, a collection of every Raspberry Pi ever made, and quite possibly one or more ASRock mini-ITX boards in your possession. I’ve built stuff […]

Proxmox Backup Server Wake-on-LAN

21 August 2024 By Justin

If you’re using Proxmox and you want to back up your VMs & containers there is no better way than Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). If you have a spare PC or motherboard and storage (SSD or spinning rust) you can use it to get regular scheduled backups, whatever retention you need, backup verification, deduplication and […]

Netgear WAX214 WiFi 6 Access Point

8 September 2023 By Justin

(Or Why I’ll Never Buy Another Netgear Product) A long, long time ago I bought a Matrox Marvel G200 graphics card. It was (for the time) quite expensive. It did 2D, 3D, and had a built-in TV tuner. It was great. Shortly after, Windows XP was released. That was great too. Mostly everything just worked. […]

Proxmox 8 / Debian 12 with Realtek RTL8111H NIC

28 July 2023 By Justin

TL;DR A default Proxmox 8 / Debian 12 install uses the wrong module for the RTL8111H – we need to build & install the correct module I came across this problem using Proxmox on the Asrock J4125-ITX / J5040-ITX / N100 series boards. These are great boards to run a low-power mini server, they run […]
