Im no hardware geek so, what do you guys think of it?

Apologies, I'm not accusing anyone here of being a geek.... ....well....

A great and very nicely configured little system but one which represents HUGE overkill for running Linux in any of its current guises.

At over double the (currently very discounted but available) price of a very nice and similarly configured Alienware gaming rig, I'm afraid it has no chance of finding its way into my Toybox.

An intriguing design but Boy... are they going to have to sharpen their pencils.

Well color me impressed!
That's a shi* load of bang for your buck (1,400.00).

With on-board GPU and a 1660 card as well, when applied, offers use of up to 7 monitors.

Yes, definitely a nice little system!

Nooooo, LP! The good one is going to cost you $2500 plus tax and shipping. That's more Kibble than a pickup truck can carry.


The MintBox3 is currently available for $1399 and $2499 depending on the specification:

The MintBox3 Basic is the entry model with Core i5-9500 6 core CPU, 16 GB RAM and 256 GB Samsung NVMe SSD.

The MintBox3 Pro is the high-end model with Core i9-9900K 8 core CPU, GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB graphics, 32 GB RAM and 1 TB Samsung NVMe SSD.

No more Catnip for thee this week!

WHAT?
2500.00! ...without any light show in the can?

Well, that wont do.
Good think I build from scratch.
