This looks like an amazing little box that can do almost anything. I'm wondering how people feel about the pricepoint

$679 early bird

$839 msrp

I'd love to grab one to use as a router/firewall, plus run any homelabbing containers I have on my NAS.

How's the value proposition stack up? Price looks great to me considering the cpu and connectivity it offers.

Edit: Additional info

serve the home sponsored video sponsored but still really really informative. There's a section near the end going through a tons of ideas of how to utilize the pci slot, including epanding nvme storage, external sas, extra networking etc. seems you can get over 40gb extra throughput from that port.

Got optic to SFP bridge from my ISP (only because I insisted on using my own router) , that was fed into SFP to RJ45 adapter that I have bought (via Amazon - apparantly the ISP's have lobbied to not import it here) and then connected my router.
That went somehow ok untill I switched ISPs , now the optic cable is fed into an ISP provided decryption module , paired specifically to the mac address of my router.

It's like the ISPs went onboard with upgrading to optic because they could excert more control over their customers.
