ASRock DESKMINI X300W AMD X300 1 x HDMI Barebone System 225$ shipped then -30$ rebate form

So it needs a CPU and laptop RAM and it's a full PC?

yes barebone pc and storage

Does it come with BIOS upgraded to support 4600G/5600G? I bought one earlier with my 3200G. I am debating getting one more to replace my old 110 (2 of them) as they won't be supporting Windows 11 due to the 6th/7th gen Intel CPU

I just checked when i ordered mine, was on December 23 2021, it had latest bios 1.7 and damn, I paid way more haha :-(

Shows up as $184.99 for me

Can it take 5700g?

Neat! I did not know about this one, seems to be a slightly larger NUC but with desktop CPU support.

Wonder how large and what wattage the power brick is. My little NUC11 is dwarfed by the 120W power brick lol.

Yes. Only thing is you cannot add a video card, you're limited by the integrated graphics of whatever xxxxG chip you go with.

Is there any room inside to fit a SATA SSD? I know it supports an M.2 NVME on the motherboard but I don't really want to buy new storage since I recently purchased the SATA drive

This mini PC seems more special with full graphic card expansion possible:

And it's well reviewed

And FYI, this used to be sold for as low as $165, months ago, if I'm not mistaken.

Official ASROCK website says it can fit 2x 2.5” drives.

Don't think so. I remember it was about the same price (or $5 more) but with free shipping and that would be the lowest ever.

that is after rebate form and without shipping

Yeah, after the rebate. As mentioned in OP.

And, of course, after rebate pricing is a bit misleading because you pay HST on the pre-rebate price.

people online got it running but they are close to the 120w maximum power when 100% cpu/apu utilization

it got support for 2 sata 2.5

I find it odd that Newegg.ca's page doen't list suitable APUs under "Products related to this item".

do people still fall for these mail in rebate scam?
