Just discovered the world of low power fanless x86 thin clients on eBay. At least one of the Wyse models supports up to 16GB ECC RAM and has a decent (2GHz quad core) processor, and you can get it for $30 if you are patient. I see a bargain basement server in my future...

I guess the option "buy it now" is worthy, regarding the bid for the PB which is has not value even for collectionist, I think I was been a "victim" of price race scheme.
I am pretty sure the two accounts who were competing with me were fakes, probably belong to the same person who started the auction. · 10 months ago
@gnuserland Bids are tough without automated tools, but sometimes you get a good "buy it now" price from someone who just wants to offload the item. Surprised that a used Pinebook fetched such a price. Do you mean the first-gen one? Maybe a collector since they don't make them anymore... · 10 months ago
to me ebay looks a joke, I found a Pinebook at $45 5 days ago, I did a bid for $46; 3 days after suddenly was at $55 with 4 offers more.
Today has been sold at $145... 😱
Seriuosly?
The PB was not even worth the initial $45, clearly there is a scheme behind and well trusted accomplices. 🤔 · 10 months ago
(I do despise the wintel platform but there's some things that still don't like to run on ARM. Plus ECC still sadly lacks support with most ARM boards.) · 10 months ago
