Was pondering this and SN8100, any reason why you didn’t pick the speedier latter?🤔
I go with T705 due to it is listed locally via shopee which I have utilized some voucher & able to self collect the same day from SLS. Strange to say i don't see SN8100 listed locally in shopee or lazada, only managed to find it in Amazon which is shipped from US. Since performance wise, both drives are rather close, so I go for the readily available one.

Biwin is a relatively huge Chinese brand. How the ram and ssd?
The DDR5 48G Kit is rock stable. It does not overheat.. at load max is at 43°C on both sticks. I mean SK Hynix M-Die are like this hahaha.. price wise is so much cheaper around SGD $200 or less if you get it at taobao or jd.com.. anyway the kit I have are non argb. As for M.2 2tb nvme. The speed is at 11~13K ± (read) and 8~11K ± (write). For a Gen 5 dram-less M.2 2tb nvme with 1200 TBW, it's fine. But for power consumption is at 10w ±. It's abit high for my liking.

My T705 hover ard 60c +- when using the MB heatsink which is only 1 sided but after installing this mini tower manage to get it down to ard 45-50c range. So yea, pretty satisfied with the performance and I can't hear the mini fan at all.

Luckily, it manage fit in-between the gpu vertical mount adaptor and the CPU AIO cooler w/o any clearance issue. =]

But 60+ deg still within standard operational temp, hence should be no throttling on the ssd. Though aesthetic wise with the heatsink, it looks nice and more balanced (top and bottom with the CPU AIO in the middle).

You quite heng the size swee swee didn’t exceed the left and bottom sides… haha

ya, understand that is a std operating temp for T705 but still kinda on a high side to me who used to components run at 40-50c range or lower when not on load. And yea, luckily all fit nicely, even the design look just in place with my MB's heatsinks too.. lol

Will be cool if these could be integrated into home automation like those Philips Hue light strips.

Can consider doing some cool home automation using Home Assistant.

Nice sub!
Yup, have to tone down the bass quite abit so as not to overpower the speaker sound. Still fiddle around the best EQ setting + placement as to get the best audio out of the setup.

These strips have quite a basic argb connectivity that can be plug into the MB which is sufficient of my use case as i just need to light up my Hyte Y70 base abit more.

Can use equaliser apo with peace interface to tweak. Most of singaporean don't need the heavy duty sub so...

For good quality cables, can look at elecom

I believe can. I have some Phanteks Neon RGB ones that can be used with WLED.

Unboxing the Beelink ME Mini. A good choice for home user looking to run a mini and low-powered DIY NAS on any NAS OS (TrueNAS) when building a small network or a homelab. Support up to 6x M.2 NVME, which is easily available nowadays and comes equipped with an Intel N150, 12GB memory, 64GB eMMC and 2x 2.5GbE (would be perfect with Intel 10G!).

Got the gun metal grey version instead of the white. The eMMC could easily load the operating system of your choice. Or even as a mini Proxmox server running containers with PCIE passthrough to ZFS on TrueNAS (VM) as a storage backup.​
